  • Raw material placed in the machine and held down with clamps.   The three aluminum buttons are used to locate the material.

  • Two parts have been engraved and drilled.
  • This is what the engraving and drilling cutter looks like.
  • A pass or two has been completed on the left gauge.  The tool makes 6 passes in total to cut the 1/4" depth.
  • I cut down 6' long sections of raw material into 290mm sections that are placed onto the mill.  Yes, my shop is a mess.
  • The left one is completed and the mill is moving over to start on the right one.
  • Both parts have been cut.
  • After a little blow drying and a quick rinse with water the finished gauge is added to the outgoing pile.
  • This is what the fixture block looks like when nothing is in it.

  • Clamping bolts have been inserted and the clamps and alignment buttons have been removed.
  • This 1/8" end mill is used to cut out the gauges.
  • The software that operates the mill is waiting for me to change the tool.
