AdeV:
Another race car part.... the change from Ford to Eurocar hubs means that whilst the old AP brake discs fit nicely.... so, time to give the old CNC machine a bit of exercise.

After a "few" wax prototypes (forgot to take a photo - will do so later this week), it was time to cut aluminium:

Divided he ad:
Bloody Nora!  :jaw:

Them there looks well professional!    :thumbup:



Now for the anodising!!   :)


Oh, Hi Ade  :wave:  Been a while  :doh: 





Ralph.

Brass_Machine:
Very nice Ade!

Bead blasted?

Eric

AdeV:
Hey Ralph - it has indeed been a while! I thought you must have got so leathered at CarFest, you were only just emerging from the hangover now.... Busy @ work I guess? Same here... Anodising - yeah, I did think seriously about it, but I haven't got the kit, and they'll be going on the car anytime soon. Maybe the next set...

Eric - grit blasted as it happens. Beads would probably have been gentler, but until I have a proper blasting cabinet, I don't want to waste the beads. Grit I've got loads of... On the upside, that finish took maybe 10-20 seconds to put on. Had I kept at it a little longer, I could have disguised the fact that the outside edge was cut with a rippa cutter, and not a finishing cutter...

awemawson:
Very nice Adev  :thumbup:

You've mastered that Interact now I reckon  :bow:
