I tried one of these stands I posted earlier out of 10ga material.

I had to do some tweaking to the slots it wasn’t directly scalable.

Worked out ok.



The real piece is going to be other quarter inch so I made a couple tests slot and tabs.

I ran these at 65 amps 90 inches per minute

The slot I did at 75 in per minute 65 amps

Happy enough with the results from the test to think about cutting the actual piece this Sunday out of 1/4



This is piece we made from my partners mom.

There is one for download on file share but for some reason it’s just a JPG.
I found a picture online and did a few changes to it, made it a double layered and this is how it turned out.

And the quarter inch ones are cut out ready for finish.

Pretty happy how it all turned out.

Hopefully you can get all the finishes done and have this piece delivered to the client for the coming weekend.

Hopefully, gone are the days for the notepad next to the mill with scribblings of dimensions. That said, I just built this and it will be mounted to my mill. My AutoCAD drawings (and I do draw everything) are all saved to my NAS system anyways, so I have full access from my Tablet :nerd_face:

36" long cut into 14ga…raised letters on neck…
I placed the letters in place by “Crazy Glue” then flipped it over and TIG welded the letters in place

Made a couple mountain bike bottom bracket wrenches for a customer who couldn’t find one.

Took a few basic measurements with a caliper and then laid it out in fusion360 Cad and cam

One is made of 14 gauge and the other 10.

Both wrenches fit the spline straight off the table.

Very little dross at the high inches per minute

I dressed out both wrenches out a little.

Not perfect for some reason there where a few spot that it didn’t cut all the way through. I think I need to fine tune the THC control.
