Machining Pic's and Video's

[kwhizz]

I was walking thru the Shop today and there was a lot of neat "Stuff" going on so I thought I would Post some Pic's and Video's of things we are making.....If anyone has any Interest in this area, I can Post some Pic's of Machines we build also......The first set shows some various Prototype Stainless Steel Inlet and Outlet Ports that will eventually be made as Cast parts.....These Parts aren't finished as of yet.....the Pic's just show method of Manufacture (But...the Parts have to be Delivered on Friday)

Cools stuff! I could sit for several more hours and look at this stuff like we did last time. Never boring. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the pics. I love this type of stuff, well then again I should. I see it every day! I'd love to share some pics, but I think I might get "shot" for leaking confidential info. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Sorta reminds me of some of the components I worked with in the aerospace industry.

Cool stuff. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Looks like billet American flag holders http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I agree...cool stuff! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[ORIGLS6]

It's even more impressive when you hear the tolerances they can hold. Like Rick, I could watch this kind of stuff endlessly. Good thing I don't have any room or money; I'd have one in my garage just to play with! Pretty expensive therapy! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Salvatore]

Looks real good Ken. A great operation! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Here's a 2 Station Machine we built (can't go into specific's), But, it has a T.V. cameras built into it that actually look at the part and the computer figures where eveything is and then the machine performs it's function......Pretty Cool

I can.......but then you would have to shoot me..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Pretty cool machine to say the least and amazing what functions it can do. I think what impressed me the most was the workmanship in making the machine. Nicer detail than in some of your cars! You have some good people working there especially your sons and secretary.....
