Hi Mike,
I used them, the process worked OK. The software is a bit tricky to use as it is designed around their processes that are unique. I used plasma cutting (IIRC), brake bending and drilling. All stainless steel and the process worked and the parts I got were correct. I think CNC machining of aluminum would be easier but expensive. Let me know how it goes. Regards, |

I can do all your flex plate stuff, right here in my shop without having to drive down the street to my buddies shop. Carbon fiber is really expensive right now, I would suggest G10 Flex plate material and give it a try.

Nice setup Sean. I am trying to get my buddy to hurry up and finish his CNC so I can start cutting some stuff out too

RE: eMachineShop.Com?
Once you cut out a servo hole, or airline holes or velcro holes for a receiver into a piece of wood with one of these, you will never ever ever want to go back!

RE: eMachineShop.Com?
Wow Sean ! You have all the toys ! What programs are you using for the whole process ? Design , G code , running the machine ?
Marc |
RE: eMachineShop.Com?
G Code, and I wouldn't say all the toys, just enough to know there is always more that I want!

RE: eMachineShop.Com?
Hey Sean , did your response get cut in half or something ?

Mike,
Friend of mine used emachineshop to get a prop adapter made for a big electric motor. Service was good, finished product was excellent, price was astronomical. Jerry N |
