So Charley, Have to ask what you needed the holes cut out for? I am curious!

Here's something that might be of interest to the machining guy's here.....the part being machined in the video is D-2 Tool Steel that is heat treated to 60-62 Rc..........these are Embossing Punches for one of our customers and there is a .250 transition radius between the flats....we used to grind all the flats and then Paddle on the Radius in the Jig Grinder....It used to take about 2-2 1/2 hours in grinding..........Watch the chips flying of the punch......Remember.....the part is 60-62Rc............It's all in the coating of the carbide end mill...........Wild Stuff......Between 16 pc's we held size w/ .0002

Cool video! Why no coolant?

Here is our latest piece. I think its the best we have come up with yet, at least the most intricate piece. Its the fuel filler cap we made for our RS-V camaro. We wanted to stay away from the round cap and make it suit the Marquez tail lights and the Ring bros. handles...... Just our take on another way of doing it.

Had we thought of it sooner, before paint, we would have made a recess for it and a radiused reveal like the tail lights have in the stock tail panel, but for this one it will have to do as an add on piece...... which also leaves it open to be used on virtually anything!

The border is the same design and chamfer as the tail light bezels, and the center of the piece, as well as the center of the cap, will be media blasted and done in a grey color like the tail light surrounds. the holes around the cap are drilled and tapped for some cap screws like the Ring brothers door handles.

So its almost done, but I HAD to post it before it was!!!!

I put it on the car, keep in mind it will look different with the center done in grey and textured with blasting...... and it is missing the cap screws and is not polished yet!!!

Air blast only.............per the manufacturer of the cutting tools instructions.........the neat thing is that all the heat from cutting leaves with the chip......part is almost ambient temp

Some caps/weld bungs for a coolant tank and washer reservoir for the RS-V camaro. Matches the fuel cap. Still needs polishing and Cap screws to finish!
