Re: pic: 294 Prototype Base frame rail - almost done

WOW! Those are huge! or so they look in the picture... how long are those? And are those milled out pockets going to be cut all the way through?

Is that 6061 (-T6)? 7075? ? Carbide cutter? What were your cut parameters to get that much aluminum chunked out in an hour? 1/2" End mill? Carbide? Chip tooth?

Ok.... so i'm feeling deprived... you got my blood going when i saw a big piece of aluminum. Hmmm i think i need to design something so i can make some parts... i havent crunched aluminum in a whole week... guess you can have withdrawls...
