I thought this would make cool thread. Let see those pictures of parts you have made. Just keep them to hobby, not for pay or parts your just proud of.

Here's mine:
The first 2 are of a RC pattern plane that is a gas to electric conversion. All the flat CF pieces were done on my PCNC1100.

The F7F Tigercat is an electric RC plane designed about 10 years ago. It's a pretty fast plane now with modern motors and LiPo batteries. The parts I made were the motor mounts and the retractable landing gear mounts.

Thanks for looking,
Barry

Great thread idea. I'm just getting started on the part making journey with my machine, although not a Tormach - I've only done a handful so far.

Scope adjustment lever.





RC dual wielding flame thrower boat. Making all the barrel brackets and nozzles - you can see the proof of concept 3D printed parts in the first picture.

Nice looking parts you guy's!
Here are some parts and assemblies I have made with my PCNC770
A special tool to remove the fork caps on my motorcycle, I recently changed fork springs and fork oil and needed this to complete the project.


And a couple of model air powered steam engines.
A Elmer's #50

And Elmer's #37 "Grasshopper" engine.

I have a movie of the #50 on Photo Bucket but Photo Bucket is really slow right now, I'll add a link if anyone is interested. The #37 is about 90% done, just the little fiddly stuff takes a long time.
I am also about ready to start making chips on some aluminum top and bottom triple clamps/ assembly for a 1972 Triumph Bonneville that I am converting into a cafe bike. Here is a rendering of that assembly.

I'm just trying to decide on how I'm going to do the gauge cluster, switch panel and make some changes on the top clamp. I plan on making my own clipon's as well as rear sets and brake/ shifter linkage.

Hey Barry,

I'm not trying to derail things, but how are you doing the CF parts? Do you have some sort of vacuum or air system for keeping the dust down? I've been wanting to do it on my 770, but I'm very leery of breathing CF particles.

I understand your question...I hear CF is as good for you as asbestos

What I do is use a 1/32 2 flute @ a very low RPM (5100) & feed. This keeps the dust from getting blown around. Also I use a product called DragonPlate.
It's CF sheets laminated to a hard ply wood core. When machined, it looks like the wood and glue mix up with the CF fibers and keep the dust from becoming air borne. For clean up I use a Shop vac with a HEPA filter.

Cool thread idea. I love the RC stuff! Especially the dual flame thrower... twice as awesome as one.

These parts are from my X3, but used TTS tooling Not as cool as the other stuff posted, buy may give some gift ideas since christmas will be here in no time.

I posted some photos of my progress on my 9 cylinder radial engine project over on the Tormach Yahoo group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tormac...90924/pic/list

This is my 3rd IC engine and I've been working on this one since Dec 2012. I may have another year of work left on it. I've just started on the heads and cylinders and for a person who doesn't like to make more than one of the same thing this phase of the project is going to be tough for me. - Terry

By the way, is it just me or are others constantly getting annoying audible 'clicks' from their computers while viewing cnczone. I'm sure it is coming from all the ads that are trying to download, but it drives me so crazy that I seldom come here anymore. I've tried adjusting the settings on my various popup blockers to remove the sound but I just can't seem to get rid of it. While making this post I've counted 11 of these. I can't stand it anymore... I got to get out of here.

just messing around.



custom loading block.



never made a mold before but i made this for a friend so he can make down rigger weights.





this is the weight he wanted to make. i don't have any pictures of his completed weights but they turned out perfect.



all the exterior work on this muzzle brake was done on the tormach. the id was bored and threaded on a lathe.







this is how it mounts.

Yes, Click, Click and downloading constantly in the background.
I've got where I rarely visit here anymore, traffic is down and the ads are pretty intrusive. You can tell the site's popularity has been going downhill over the last 6 months. Not sure why? Nobody minds some ads, but sometimes it's just crossing the line.
