Having watched our machinist toil at making her hubs for the past week or so, let me just say, superlative! Very nice finish...

What stock did this start as?

Re: pic: 114 wheels
This all started as 8x8 square stock (hard to believe, eh?)

We had it CNC'd at our sponsor's machine shop.

Each wheel is 6 inch diameter, with 1.5" wide tread. They turned out so perfect that when you ding them together, the spokes act as tuning forks, and the chime lasts for a couple minutes.

I'm going to have to mar them a bit, the whole tuning fork effect is starting to give me a headache...

Re: pic: 114 wheels
How thick are the spokes? (thick meaning in the Z direction on the CNC machine on which they were milled)

The wheels started out of 6"x6"x1.5" thick Aluminum 6061 bar stock and the wheels are 6 inch diameter, with 1.25" wide tread.
This is a movie of the wheel being machined on the CNC (10MB Quicktime movie).
Here is a Block of material before machining
Here is the Wheel after the first operation

Re: pic: 114 wheels

Re: pic: 114 wheels
At what feed rate is that mill running? We run ours so much slower than that, but we also don't pour buckets of water onto our parts, so.
