Great job!!! A real inspiration to start the castings that I need to get underway....Thanks for showing the fitting...Great shared satisfaction my friend......
Good tip on turning threaded parts, I've had them jump out of the chuck as well. The finished motor mount castings look like they're bought ones. Great job.
looks like it machined ok... ive always tended to use castings specifically when casting, i scrap any extrusion. motor casings etc, they give a nice machining "chippy" casting. higher silicon content? extrusion always ends up making nasty sticky soft stuff. in my experience, anyway. and in that regard, it also bruises a lot less than "billet". small design change on that tensioning bolt... slot the bracket, save the fear of snapping a tap in a long hole, and can use a locknut in the slotted part.
Thanks man ! Like the idea of slotted ajustment , i will think hard on that for sure next time :) yes im starting to find that remelting old castings is the way to go . I ran short a couple of times and thre in some 660 and it sat in a taffy block at the bottom . The child in me thought about stirring iy in but we know how that coupd end . Gas , lumps ... sadness . Now to head out this week and rummage for some more alu so i can cast some more cool stuff :)
Very cool video as usual. I am wondering if you are not afraid that the entire contraption will turn on that bored hole, I know you tightened it with two bolts, but still, the bored surface and the cylinder on your mill are smooth surfaces and the beefy servo's torque might turn the whole thing?
You raise a good question . I feal the surface area vs torque will be adiquate . The indexing head it 40:1 so its very easy to turn . Even when i put a 1:2 on it . It should be ok .

the amount of clamping force there is massive. people underestimate just how powerful a clamp like that is... probably experienced trying it with a small diameter shaft...
You raise a good point thank you , at first i didnt belive you and fact checked you . Lol yes this is true mark , it is not a real word . I may however become a trend setter and pave the way on this word to become a real word now Or not :)

I guess I'm not the only one who notices these things. What gets me is when folks use "routered" and "orientated" when "routed" and "oriented" are proper English. And "aks" instead of "ask" makes me shake my head. 😃

Thanks john , let me know if you have any questions :)
@@Wrighmachining Sure thing my friend..

Thanks tony , its veen a fun learning process to get to this point . There will be more cool castings coming this year
Cool video been a long time I worked with Cast ports.
I love it . The idea you can make it with foam amd . Poof you have a metal part is crazy still to me .
Looks like a win to me. 👍
Thanks tom , lots of learning on that one :)

Sorry but I have to say it - casted is not a real word. The past tense of cast is cast.

@@Wrighmachining English has some oddities and the past tense of cast being cast is one of them.
