Swedishcadillac Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hey now... Can't you just start the program, go watch a movie at the theater and come back to the finished product? I liked your original price point. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I wish I could just hit the green button and walk away. An unattended machine tends to fail and fail hard. 2 Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I actually like that as the finish. It looks Really neat imo. As far as hardware is concerned, do you know which bolts will work? I'd like to have them on hand so I'm not punching myself later :P Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 M6x1.0 100mm length shoulder bolt. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I know now why the Tomei covers are $1000.00 + :rofl: I'm gonna be here with this 1.0" Turbo mill for a while. Gotta work on my machine strategy for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I know now why the Tomei covers are $1000.00 + :rofl: Those are cast, just machined on the top and bottom deck. I think Tomei only charged $300-350 back when they sold them. Price skyrocketed when they quit making them. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Time wise on these projections from the software, I'm around $1200.00 on machine time :confused: I will be doing what I can do to make this time faster without destroying stuff. I have 3 hours left. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Oh my! That looks great man. Very good work. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 So far you and I will be the only ones with these lol 1 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Darn, I mean it's awesome to have such a unique peice, but I know your goal was to help fund the project. Hopefully more people will jump on these. I may be missing it, but did you decide to go against the vent or bung from the cover? Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 There's a boss at the rear of the top that gets drill and tapped for 1/4-18 NPT threads Quote Link to comment
