rudypoochris Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 By the way, it is a huge pain in the butt to machine that mount from the ~3"x~3"x~4" cube like I did on a 3-axis end mill. Emachineshop.com can make them for IIRC $117 a unit with an order of 5+. This is much more expensive, but it literally took my relatively rookie self 3 days to make that one piece. If I were to do it again and had the mounting blocks and stuff I created to make it, I could probably cut the time in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey ..I wouldnt have a problem spending $117 for the mount if it worked as intended. If you consider your time and material relatrive to 3 DAYS.....its not that much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Why make the mount out of billet when it can be made out of several pieces and then welded together? That would really bring down the cost a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
