new project on my engineering blog, this time it's a commissioned project made for a friend of mine for his car tuning. Stay tuned as I am also working on the larger project updates
I completed this project for my friend, who was tuning his car with some cans. The issue was that the pre-made brackets were not quite up to snuff and were loose. While the design itself is easy, the distance was quite a challenge. Therefore, a 3D cloud scan was used to create the design, and someone verified some distances via text messages. The part itself is made of EN AW-5051 aluminium with a brushed and cold anodized (Birchwood aluminium black in case you are wondering). The part itself is
This weekend's fustration:
I placed my new milling machine on it's table. I can now it out and do a few test cuts. However I forgot that the first owner of the machine (the second owner never used it) was terrible in machine skills and maintance.
So que me wanting to do a test cut and discover that the clutch for the worm-gear lowering mechanism was slipping. Taking the clutch out I discovered someone coated it with way-oil that turned into a sticky but slippery mess. So before i could do a test cut; I had to take the whole stock lowering mechanism appart to clean it and re lube the parts that need oil.
Explanation of how this system works is in the alt text of the photos.
Also if someone knows better tags for this type of post let me know! I am struggling to find the right community for machine shop toots.
