CNC Fork nut machining

Postby djsbriscoe » Sun Apr 24, 2011 2:48 am

Does anyone have EASY access to CNC machining? I need a couple of fork stem nuts fabricating in Aluminium (initially). I have the design already completed and available in STL file format.

I could ask someone at work but I have to work my way up to this (takes time to get to know people). Alternatively does anyone know of a good machinist? Thanks.

David.

P.S I could use emachineshop but I would have to redo the design in their proprietry software and order maybe 50 of them. These nuts are being made to fit the clamps on my Gilles Variobars for the Skorpion. If the job can be done on a conventional lathe I can prepare a 2d drawing.

I know a good CNC machinist here in the US - Joe Kenny in Floyd, VA. You might send him an email and see if he can help you: jkenny@swva.net . Check out his website: http://www.swva.net/jkenny/
