Made some Flexo parts today.

Made up some Flexo parts today. Gerry shared a photo of the engine plate with all the measurements I needed and Karen was nice enough to mail me a rubbing of the jackshaft and axle tabs. So here's a much deserved thank you to them.

Nice work.

Thank you. I seem to have the machine dialed in on that material and thickness. I used an annular cutter to drill the bearing holes. Ended up being about 0.006" larger than the bearing. That's better than those Azusa jackshaft plates so I'm good with it.

They look beautiful. Awesome job:thumbsup:

 

[rmm727]

Thanks Karen. Couldn't have made them without you.

Do you have a Flexo, are you building one?

 

[rmm727]

Nope. Might build one though. Depends on my motivation.

Are those plates laser cut...water jet ?

 

[manchester1]

Nope. Might build one though. Depends on my motivation.

:laugh: I could use some motivation myself:laugh:

CNC plasma...a hobby one for that matter. Like I said, I seem to have it set pretty good for that material. Material is from my summer job. They call it shielding steel. Used in the walls of the mobile MRI trailers they build. Its not quite 3/16" thick.

Looks like a nice clean cut...does it leave any slag on it that requires sanding or deburring?

 

[rmm727]

There is some slag. More if I don't have the water table full enough. I use a flap wheel on an angle grinder to clean it up. Smaller holes or slots get some bevel to them. You can see it in the engine plate slots.
