Machined air-motor stator
By RobbieThe1st on 24/11/2009
Just one of the 25 or so pieces I've been making this quarter:
This is made out of 7071T6 aluminum - Thats a nice, fairly hard aluminum alloy, for those who don't know.
Its a bit over 1.5" in length, and the same in diameter. That large hole is 1.25" in diameter, and is deliberately offset from the center of the piece
The medium dark hole is 1/8th inch in diameter, and goes all the way through.
This piece was done entirely CNC; the outer diameter was turned on a lathe, and the rest was done on a 3-axis mill
It took me a couple of days to get it all planned out get the machine setup and everything. Today, I scrapped this particular part(the length is .001 too short), and made another one. I took that one from raw stock to near complete in under one hour.
