383 240z Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 That was way to cool. I wish I had the talent to program those things, I get fustrated with CNC plasma code. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 A mechanic friend of mine was talking about having the outside of a cast iron block machined to remove extra material for weight reduction. He said the result was a cool looking block that weighed about 20lbs less. Has anyone else heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey cool i used to do stuff like that 3d things like that are hard to program.... I ran a matsuura one time cool machines and fast. No rotary table on the one I ran tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some-Guy Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 after watching the rest of it now lol high speed machining is so cool light depth of cut heavy feed and super high spindle rpm just too cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 A mechanic friend of mine was talking about having the outside of a cast iron block machined to remove extra material for weight reduction. He said the result was a cool looking block that weighed about 20lbs less. Has anyone else heard of this? My old shop teacher talked about it a couple of times, was always pro-for it. I did it a little on some heads (no longer have them and no pictures), it save about 2lbs worth on each head. This was just grinding and not really good polish, it took A LOT OF WORK and minimal gains. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I cannot imagine the programming required for that type of CAD-CAM CNC...WOW...and how and when do they (know to) change the bits? I have done some basic CAD CAM CNC, so this blows me away. Amazing. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
