Aluminium?Billet

[B Schein]

So called "Billet Aluminum" is nothing special all it means is that the part was made from one piece. You could machine 6061 Al on any metal working lathe or milling machine. The thing I don’t get is people fell in love with the word billet form The term "Billet Wheels" which would imply the wheels are made from one piece but every one I have ever seen is actually a weldment. Its funny where we get these sayings from.
