BF Mods by Custom-Classic

Just filled the last slot for November...

Oh WOW! My aluminium one is flying over the ocean as we speak and I have a sneaking suspicion that once it arrives and gets it's Cyclone installed that a Brass one will need to be ordered... Oh well it could then be a Xmas gift from Dad to Dad! ;-)

Simichrome is the best on brass. You'll love it.
These aren't likely the polishing cloths being referred to but these are embedded with jewelers rouge and work great for touch-ups.

Alright,... so I weighed my personal 6061 mod, the one that is really close to the current spec... and it weighs 3.5oz nekkid. (without battery, bottle, or atty...)

The 7075, in the same config. is 3.6oz.

The brass one I'm doing came in at 9.6oz.

Speaking of which.....

Gettin' dangerously close here....

I like the way you think, Rob!

Looking forward to the arrival pics, buddy!

They're really reasonably priced About 10k with a few of the bells and whistles

'member that short story I told a while back, 'bout gettin' online and lookin' at higher end mills and such? Yeah,... that was the one that always sent me on the slow,... but deliberate walk, back to my workbench...

How many you can make a week with this cnc?

 

[custom-classic]

Good question, BJ. I'm not sure. More than two though...
You'd basically build jigs that would hold multiple parts, so every operation, you're doing several at once...
There'd be no more hand layout, or cap spottin'... All parts would be the same, and interchangeable...
It won't build 'em for you, by any means,... but it would take a lot of time out of the process, and make things more uniform...

There'd be a lot of time spent on the front side writing the g-code and building fixtures and such... but once that's done,... the sky's the limit....

The end result would be, less time spent, so lower prices, for sure....

The CNC might make em fatster but it could not make em any better.

So, let's see, 10k, 4 mods p/week x $400= $1600 p/week, have it paid off before Xmas!

9.6 oz holy cow! that also qualifies as a deadly weapon.

With that being said...

The brass has a good weight feel in the hand. Not a cumbersome heavy, but oddly enough is a comfortable weight. This is coming from a petite lady. It was rather shocking when I held an aluminum in hand after using the brass beauty for a couple of weeks.
