That's just hot. All things that i would never normally like, but somehow put together in a way that just looks the business.

[Mr. JLT]

I have been working on making a few throttle body flanges for my SRI so I can move the TB a little futher away from the radiator fans-about half way done with one so far.This one will bolt directly to the SRI-I machined down all 4 sides to get a true square, drilled all 4 6mm holes and working on machining out the center. Hope to have one done this weekend

Nice little miller

Are you working both feeds by hand Jay?

[Preen59]

Looks like a little CNC mill to me..

Now tell me how the heck you picked that? Haha

All i noticed was the NT30 taper, = smaller miller. Hafco or something?

Jay has skillz!

The job has no visible marking out and that hole is way too smooth to have been done by hand. My guess is that's a roughing cut at (what i would do) ~0.3mm less than the finish diameter, followed by a finishing pass, slow the feed down, up the RPM, some coolant to keep the cutter lubed up and the cutter/material cool (also improves the finish 10 fold on aluminium) climb milling to achieve the best finish.

Sorry for the thread highjack there Jay.

[Mr. JLT]

Yes both the Y and X are ran by hand, I am learning from John my neighbor--Haha sorry no CNC machine-- the only one in town is townville laser cutting center and they dont like to cut aluminium cause they say it can burn there mirrors out if the excess metal is not jet cleared fast enough. So John has offered me his equipment to learn on.
