Here are a couple of things I have made recently. The socket is a penta socket for Cat injector pump.
The large plate was 12" wide, so I made these clamps to work in the low profile vices. Works very well. The large plate is 3/4" 12" x 15" plate as part of a large (ver) 3d printer.

This is rad! Took my kids to see 4014 when it stopped over in our hometown for the night. Very cool.
Fun little part for a company just starting up. These will hold down the ends of some straps. First time engraving too.

I need to make one of these out of plastic for cutting flat stock… what is your hole spacing for the clamp joints?
The hole spacing was determined by the housing flange on a ford 9 inch truck rear end. I drilled the part for the 1/2 inch bolts holes and then used them to align the part for milling. The 3D printed fixture has bosses that register in two of the drilled holes. 1/4 -20 cap head screws hold the part to the fixture, nuts under the fixture for extra security even though the fixture has threads. The spacing is X-2.375 inches, Y - 3.50 inches

That is some nice parts. What tool did you use for engraving ?
I did some a while back with a 0.02" ball tip engraver from Lakeshore but I like how yours turned out, the font looks good too.

Looks super clean. Is it aluminum and what’s your feeds and speeds?

Nice work, is it made from some kind of brass or is that a coating you applied ?
