Custom Machined Parts
 

Does anyone on here do custom machining? I need some custom axle ends and know what i want/need BUT have absolutely no way to make the parts myself unless i rig something up.

Ive done it before. How complex is it? I am just working on getting my mill's overhaul done. It is a few switches away from working "thumbsup"

What material is it and blueprints are really helpful when requesting machining help FYI "thumbsup"

I would have to sketch up my plans. Working on narrowing my axial axles and basically need the end of the straight axle piece but shorter. Really could just take a set of aluminum ones and mill out the inside to fit over the axle housing. BUT ill start some sketches and let you know when its done.

Ok. I think I understand what you mean. In the end its a case of "looks vs performance." It would be cool to make some in 7075 to slide easier or 303 stainless but that would be a pain to machine on a Sherline :ror:

Once I see the blueprints I can make a nice CAD drawing if you want "thumbsup"

Im in the process of sketching things up. It wont be too pretty but hopefully youll get the idea.

Long as I know the important stuff I think ill be good :mrgreen:

Im used to very simple sketches being handed to me and then being told "ok can you make this" its common :ror:

HAHAHAHAHA.....:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:, yep, been there done that.;-)

Only after Crawling Calvin has looked over your blueprints and possibly decides he may not want to take on the job, send them my way and I'll take a look.

Thanks.

Talked with him last night. Plans have been understood and $$ has been sent.

Appreciate the offer for help.

Mike Hesse is the man!!
 

You can check out his website and email from there or send him a pm on rcmt.net he does any custom work you need he uses the best equipment and materials !!It'll cost a little more than something made with cheap materials and shotty workmanship !Best off all if your rig is out of production he can remake the parts needed!!

I run a cnc mill and laith I sent a pm with my contact info.

I do work, but only for GSRCRC guys (my local club), myself & my son. I don't have a vendor star here and don't want to piss off the mods.:shock:8)
