I'll give you 10% of what I spent on the project...which was $0 on the material, and maybe 3 hours spent on the drawing up and making of the part. Since I'm still in college, and 3 credit hours is about $900...
You owe me $90? I'll check my math again before I send out the invoice |

Cool Thread! I made two of these a few years ago, Cylinder head for a top fuel drag bike. I've posted these pics before but thought you guys might like to see. Done on a DMU 70evo.
Some footage of 5 axis in action. http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/illicit1/?action=view¤t=MOV02483.flv |

Or if the temperature varied slightly from the the standard at which the part should have been measured. Or if he held the mic for too long. Etc.
I think the OP's question has, in fact, been answered. The answer is Yes. |

Sorry to go OT but I need help from someone with a lathe. I built myself a bead roller this weekend but it's kinda useless without any mandrels. I'm only rolling two profiles and would also possibly like to use it as a shear and to throw curved flanges. If you can help a brother out shoot me a PM.
Cheers, Koji |

Not a car part, but I made a pen out of solid 304 a couple years ago. All manual, played with threading and a round insert for the spiral. For Parker ballpoint inserts. Heavy though.

I just started my new major of Automated Machining Engineering and am eager to build parts for my car. I love to see all the other guys in the same field or work that I am. I have a thread started to try to get some basic idea's of what I can work on. My Thread

What's MACHING?
If you meant MachINEING... I do that. I charge $55/hour for work... I weld, and port items as mainly. It depends on what you want done... I have a lathe to work on. Old school... from the Legendary Bethlehem Steel! It still works perfectly-100% manual for adjustments and everything. You can see the levers with pins to lock into predetermined positions to control the speed. You can see a chart machined into the side of the lathe showing positions of the 4 levers(2 pin positons for each lever) Each combination sets the rotation at a different speed. I make everything on this piece. I love making shift knobs... sandwich filter adapters... short shifters... beveld flanges... turning rotors. My pap-who was a machinist by trade and supervisor at the steel wouldnt let me use it until i was 14 or so... but it is so fun now that I've gotten good working with metal. Here's a Question/CHALLENGE to everyone out there: Find someone that has a Lathe this old... and or from somewhere as famous as the bethlehem steel... THAT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY! *I think it still works well because it is preserved in a casing of 1/4" thick grease over LEAD paint! **Still have original Carbide, Ceramic, and many other burrs... along with an original "Center" and a full Drill set(nothing very small-as it was used to mill smallish medium sized Rolls of steel.

I don't have a picture of it, but the lathe I learned on was a LaGrange that had a U.S. Department of War inventory tag number on it. It was still chugging along just fine in 2001 last time I used it.
