New part in the works.

1slow370 · 01-07-2014, 08:59 PM

My favorite is Mcam's dynamic paths in aluminum, solid 3 flute standard length, 95% axial depth, 40% radial depth, and an apropriate feed and speed, so with a YG1 1/2" it is about a .2 x 1.2" cut, and i only have 10k so feed is about 150. The constant chip load gives me about 30-50% better life than a traditional path and it's fast enough, if i had more R's It would match your 1" index-able for sure. When i really want to move material then i bust out the 3/4" which takes a .4x 1.5" cut at 190ipm. Aluminum you can get away with murder, a slight difference in feed or speed doing die work in D2 and you'll be changing inserts all F'ing day.

those blocks i posted above are pt110 stainless steel..bout as tough as inconel

im using volumill which is slightly more advanced than the mcam dynamic paths.

i tear it up with a 3 flute niagra 1/2 endmill... 210ipm and .25 woc, im slightly conservtive but not much heh. im sure the neighbors hate us when the machine is running full on.

and we are making chips! loud as a mofo in the shop right now

1slow370 · 01-07-2014, 09:54 PM

yeah you know its a good day when you add 60 gallons of coolant to the machine

could you make a bigger oil pan, one like the greddy pan but without the oil return ports, i hate the fact that thats the only aftermarket oil pan available, and the only thing close to an oil pan is a pan spacer

If the market is there, yes. If he's making 1-2. Better mortgage your home. The other thing with an oil pan would be the astronomical cost to make it billet, it would have to be cast first. Then machined.
If AZ wants to take it from here, I'll leave the next response to him.

i dont see why there wouldnt be a market for a part like this, more oil means better cooling and right now the only thing available to all non turbo 370zs is a pan spacer, the greddy oil pan is really only for turbo kits unless you block off the oil return ports which would mean added costs on top of the bigger oil pan

AzSpeng · 01-07-2014, 10:28 PM

i know you guys want something affordable...how about we do something thats waterjet cut, press broke, welded, with a cnc milled flange for the oil pan....i could even double layer it and use 5052 grade aluminum.

as for testing..you already know andrew has taken that spot

Rusty · 01-07-2014, 10:59 PM

This is serious sh!t! I love it.

Been awhile since I worked in a fab/machine shop. Brings back memories.

AzSpeng · 01-07-2014, 11:01 PM

in translation that means a welded sheet metal pan but with thicker sheets.

AzSpeng · 01-08-2014, 02:05 AM

not just thicker sheets, double sheets
