Machining custom aluminum rearset for Ducati 900 Supersport on the mill and lathe!

Using the milling machine and lathe to make adjustable rear sets from a solid block of 6061 aluminum for my Ducati custom motorcycle project. In this video I go from idea to Fusion 360 to draw up the design in CAD, scribe it onto a billet of aluminum and machine it using a Grizzly manual vertical mill, lathe, and rotary table.

I would have been well chuffed with myself making those! Fantastic end result, well done..

[@jsincoherency]

Great job making this part without CNC

[@turbobike749]

Good on ya Chris ! Now they are truly a handmade set of rear sets. Nice work mate.
I'm Subscribing now mate.

[@chris-builds]

Thanks! Please do! I'm working on a custom top triple clamp now, the first video is coming out on Monday.

[@TheDailySEM]

Hey Chris! Nice work as always man!!

[@nostamine2567]

i hate that your channel is soooooo underrated >:( i mean your parts are just proper nice

[@sarvath1977]

Wow absolutely amazing job just loved it cheers mate

[@mitchellmitchell6938]

I searched for a video like this! So I do track days and am finding parts are getting expensive. I was thinking of making my own replacement parts for rear sets.

[@chris-builds]

It definitely took a lot of time but not much cost if you have access to a mill and lathe. Aluminum is cheap.

[@mitchellmitchell6938]

Chris Builds I imagine turning out 5 of these wouldn’t take that much longer

[@veronicacortisone1650]

Loved it

[@airborne_infantryman8628]

Very impressed! Are you a self taught machinist or did you take some courses at a local community college? Thanks for sharing

[@chris-builds]

Self taught, some shop class in high school but that's about it.

[@stuartcox4739]

Hi Chris, love your videos 👍 I'm just about to have a go at making a pair of triples trees, can I ask what speed do you find best for aluminium?
Cheers Stu

[@chris-builds]

Depends entirely on the operation. For boring those holes I was using 2-300 rpm. For smaller stuff like the chamfers, as fast as the machine can go.

[@stuartcox4739]

Thanks, that's helpful

[@DAVE94LIGHTNING]

Nice work. What's your technique for transferring the hole spacing perfectly from the bike to your fusion design? For me it's never easy so 'll 3D print the prototype to test fit on the bike before machining in Aluminum just so that I know the holes will line up perfectly.

[@chris-builds]

I just measured with a caliper. Metric bikes tend to be sane round numbers in millimeters. The bolt holes are on a flat plane too so it’s easy.

[@DAVE94LIGHTNING]

@@chris-builds Gotcha. They turned out really nice.

[@veronicacortisone1650]

not bad

[@Botbot-xo2mb]

Hi Chris can I have the f3d file of your fusion design
