Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That's really very nice indeed. Wish my milling skills were that good. Must have come out of quite a big chunk of alloy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeh, a fair size. 50mm thick billet. Lucky it was free! Heres a few more pics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razak Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 That is very nice I need to replace my mount aswell, apparently its in bad shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What's the machine you are using? Do you do your own CNC programmes? It's something I'd love to have a go at, but unsure how my pitiful maths brain would cope. Very envious of people who can do this stuff and make it look easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I draw, design and copy! Got endless access to cad/cam software and a variety of 3 and 5 axis cnc's. Really enjoy my work and i get given alot of opportunitys! The machine i was using was a HEDELIUS RS 80, it is a 5 axis machine but only used 3 for this job!

Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Very nice! Just Googled that 5 axis machine, very impressive, hate to think what even a used one would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeh, they are pricey! Weve also got mikron 5 axis machines. There are some crazy big machines! Google 'mazak' they make some very nice ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I want your job. You can have mine. There is a fair bit of fabrication involved too. Mainly using a hacksaw and bastard file. Perfect for these cold mornings! Excellent work on the mount by the way dude, you should go far grasshopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
