My 80s not 80 enough for you? 🥲
Great reminder 😍 I sure you have a digital caliper in your knitting kit to measure the axle with after you get it pulled 😁
 
Sorry for the slow reply

I am interested in 2 if you have more of these.

I think I do have enough. Shoot me a PM with your addy and stuff and I can get them sent out probably monday?

I'm not sure if your caliper was zeroed there? Looks like just under 35mm from the scale?
My bad 🥴
That was before my morning coffee

Been mostly working on the new shop trying to get everything ready for inspection.

Got the plas table pulled from storage and in the building.

Had to do some modifications to get the CNC controller to talk to the new Everlast Cut82i. Simple cable mods, but it took a second.

And it does indeed cut.

Got the lathe moved around to set up the machining corner.

We may be in your neighborhood looking at that Frankenstein spring over Land Cruiser on Sunday. I’ll send you a text if we do end up heading that way.

Let me know! Would love to have you guys over.
 
Geezus Danger, thats a shop proper, make some cool s***.

I always try to lol. Still need to move a bunch more stuff in, but gotta wait for final inspections.
 
Those axles look purty DJ
And the shop is to die for!!

Super nice quality, and about a two week turnaround for them, so I'm really happy with it. And they fit, so thats a good thing lol. Thanks for all the help with measuing.
 
Playing around with dual pass tig. Its what all the cool kids are doing these days.

Inital hot root, then manual pulsed cap. Its pretty fun, but I need more practice.

I wish I was cool! 😂 .. So you’re “pulsing” with the foot pedal? I have an ESAB multi-process just starting to play with tig (lift start), need to buy a pedal.
