Bob,
Thanks, I used 600*400 as I thought I read somewhere that there is of eight photo limit, by making them smaller I squeezed nine in. Next time I will throw caution to the wind and go for bigger ones.

My latest
start with $200 bucks worth of 6061 aluminium
add 10hrs worth of machining and you get a set of custom made triple clamps
there for a custom bike a friend is making i will get some pic's of the bike once he has it together

They came out nice, the blend on the curves came out great.

Certainly some work there Peter. Well done. The process photos reveal some of the painstaking effort involved.
I have to get myself a Wohlhaupter, it's starting to look like I'm the only one without one.

Nice. Does the 10 hours include programming?

Hi Brian
yep includes programming its the easy bit but doesn't include head scratching swearing and shoveling off 3/4 of a rubbish bin full of swarf
the hard part was working out how to do it and maintain the correct steering angle as the frame is an old kawasaki 900 and the front end is off a gsxr 1100
BT
you defiantly need a Wohlhaupter it made this job a whole lot easier as 4 of the bored holes needed to be matched very closely and one is a h7 interference fit
RC
the hammer cold chisel and file are only used when we have to put it together
cheers

Hi josh
tricky would be one word for it
there is a hint in this pic look for blue
2013-05-13-21.44.49-900_595.jpg
its a digital protractor there surprisingly accurate as a reference
but the process was machine the flat in a specific distance then using a facing cutter with the head tilted to 31.7 deg step down and across to pickup the edge of the flat section
this worked well and both sides are within .5mm
then flip the part placing the head vertical again and laying the part in the vice and face parallel picking up the edge again as below
2013-05-14-22.41.21-900_595.jpg
because all the other machining is done to a specific dimension this worked well for this aplication
cheers
