CNC thread

[donnylad]

don't mind turning a few up on my lathe FOC but its not a CNC so aint doing 200 haha

edit: don't have the ali though, but I do have silversteel and possibly stainless.

 

[Krarl]

I couldn't ask for it to be FOC, that's too kind of an offer mate

I'd be more than happy if you could turn me 4 of them out of something capable of mounting brake calipers 🤣

 

[Paulie031]

If you're stuck Kyle I'll have a look in work on Monday to see what sheet metals we have ( not a great deal) I could water jet them out then 🙂

 

[Andy_con]

dont have a lathe, but could easily do some on the cnc mill if you get stuck.

jut wont be as accurate as a lathe

I literally spent the other week in college turning s**t on the lathes. I'd have done these for you no bother as well. Instead I was making trolley coins 🤣🤣

Also not 100% relatable but still sort of related to this thread.

Made a 2x4 lego brick on the milling machine a few weeks ago.

Really enjoyed it.
Should've done it with Ally though as it took forever milling the steel

These should work? Made in ally, 30od 12id 6mm thick about .1 tolerance, they’re not perfect but I don’t normally work with ally and can’t use the magnetic table to grind them up.
You can collect them from Rotherham or Penistone or I can post em for you pal.

Looks ace but why?

 

[Andy_con]

I just did a small project, I wanted to mount a camera on a pole

Attachments not working 🤷

 

[Flat Eric]

Looks ace but why?

We had free reign on the milling machines for a week at college. Never worked on one before.
I like lego and thought I'd make a brick. Had to scale it up from the drawing so the tools would fit around the studs

Was a good little project though for a few days work

 

[Andy_con]

a camera mount on a pole

a quick bead blast

threaded camera screw from ebay

cap on

fitted into the tube perfectly

I'd just like to say a massive thankyou to @Paulie031 and @donnylad. I owe you both!

Apologies if you didn't want me posting in here showing your workmanship🤣

I got the spacers last week and gave them all a measure up with my cheapie verniers and matched them up into the best possible pairs. To give a bit of background as I was quite vague beforehand, they're a caliper spacer which needed to have a larger OD just to spread the load a bit better

Tested them all at the end of last week and confirmed they're all spot on. I still need to test them with some spacers bolted to the disc to make sure there's zero runout in the disc and it's bolted to the spare hub nice and tight, measured everything up with the feeler gauges

I'll give some more feedback after tomorrow, I'm gonna test them again after work

Curious what the clearances mean?

 

[Touring_Rob]

I'm more curious to know how he holds a pen with his hoofs.

 

[Krarl]

Curious what the clearances mean?

Between the caliper and the brake disc

 

[Beauvais Motorsport]

Between the caliper and the brake disc

How come there's almost 1mm difference with pair a to d?

 

[Krarl]

How come there's almost 1mm difference with pair a to d?

Because A and D are made by different people mate
I need to do more accurate testing but that was initial offering up. I got to pair C an then thought it would be 10x more accurate if I bolted the disc down 😂
