ive been itching to build a tubular car sorta like that for a very long time...might have to get on that now that i have a cnc mill to make the parts i need.

i feel confident that programs i have on my machine will work for yours...if you want i can program something you need done and send over the gcode and a setup page with a drawing and tool list.

#16 opening is what i use, big ol cup...then if you have a water cooler you can weld via holding the cup which gives you an even more steady bead.

problem is everyone cuts costs, even using 303 stainless it costs too much and each flange can cost upwards of $100-150 vs $50, if it was my setup i would run 303 stainless for sure. but aside from...

ah yes inches, sorry. the problem with plasma is the inside corners are never "crisp" and always seemed to be washed out some.

how much of a chamfer? just to break the edge so its not sharp? you could use a hand deburr tool for that or even a dremel type tool if you had the patience.

.01 or better depending on how the plasma feels like running that day

ah man you will get work in! ive been in this "scene" for many many years and once old friends heard i had a mill they stop by every day bringing me things they want and dropping off deposit checks....

such easy parts. Why not have these waterjet or laser? btw those sharp inside corners arent possible on a mill in a single op. I would look into getting these laser or waterjet cut for sure.

i think ill go the threadmill route for sure then. just need to see if i can i can find them for a little cheaper than that price.

material is 6061-t7.

even if i had to buy another tap holder...
