The aluminum "Econobox" CU-234 from BUD Industries seems anything but "frugal". It has been beautifully formed/machined and feels, looks and performs like high quality aluminum. Mating surfaces were flat and even, all holes perfectly aligned; Threading was smooth and even, the included screws were fine - again clean and smooth. The light brush finish looks beautiful when your application leaves it open - no visible scratches or surface contamination. good piece
