Pleeeeease show us the finished item! We need pictures!

That will make a nice stereo knob.
Here u go.
Sorry I did not get a pic of the inside finished mold
They put it together so fast and out the door lol
Ok... few questions.....
(1) How long was the machine run time?
(2) What machine ran this?
(3) What endmill created that surface finish?

I see metal way covers,pretty good size table and an optical tool setter. Probably something in the commercial CNC arena.
Damn that finished sweet! I'm assuming that the chip conveyor was loaded up that night. The billet stock was probably heavier than my 770 LOL.
Thanks
I forgot the dimensions of the block but I remember it weighing 350 lbs
And yes my chip bin was over flowing lol
Nice work...thanks for sharing.

It is great to see a professional machinist who uses large vmc's own a Tormach.
In your opinion, if the haas you made this beautiful part on was akin to a Ford F-150 pickup, would you say that the Tormach 1100 were a motorcycle or scooter in comparison or less (like a bicycle)?
Just curious to get your take on an apples to oranges comparison.
Thanks

Here is a part I made on the tormach for a customer
Very Nice! The radius on those fillets look great! Did you interpolate the holes and finish bore or was it good enough with the interpolation alone for what you are targeting? I find that if I interpolate with a final spring pass I am always darn close to round. Obviously for some items I'll put the boring head in the spindle, but a well maintained tormach and a good stiff carbide cutter seem to do pretty darn well for me.
Yes I interpolated it. I made a go no go gage at work. I think I had like plus .005 on the tolerance
It was for a motorcycle. Not sure what kind
I made a part once that started out 6 X 44.5 X 44.5. It weighed 1165 pounds when it went on the machine and just 18 pounds when it came off.
Needless to say I didn't make that part on a Tormach. I made that one on a Haas VF7..
The chip guy loved me. I got close to $500.00 just for the chips.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
Wow that is a lot of metal removed LOL
If it fits it chips!
