Those are the machines that make fancy "billet" parts you most likely enjoy on your car!

Expensive copy machine :)

That's probably just the down payment. How much does it cost per hour to run all that stuff?

Downpayment? Naw thats how much they cost paid in full.

it costs electricity, coolant, operator, tooling, etc...not really a per hour or day deal...

When I was in banking (thank heavens no longer) I had a client with a few pieces of CNC equipment and I recall him remarking the ongoing costs of running them, hence my comment.

Always ongoing costs if you crash it a lot :) the typical ongoing costs get absorbed into the price of each part made. doesnt cost much per hour.

I was expecting to see cash, but this is even better!

One of my dream machines! **** that is beautiful! Excuse my excitement. Haha. Congratulations on that purchase man! I don't think I would be home for a few weeks if I got one of those. :tup:

Last night I got home at 1am, then was at the shop at exactly 7:56am!

I would call that a 3D metal printer....

AzSpeng 11-27-2013 02:52 PM

Might be a few months until I can close a deal on a 370Z so until then I can just dream of what parts to make...What would you guys make?

I wouldnt be opposed to signing up to be a vendor here if I knew I could at least recoup the vendor costs. What products would you guys buy?

Make a billet radiator bottle. That's where the "money" is at.

AzSpeng 11-27-2013 03:42 PM

example??

I make billet oil catch cans already ;) coolant bottle would be just as easy...and I make hundreds of them every week.

dP3NGU1N 11-27-2013 04:03 PM

Nice, is that a 5-axis? I'm buying a DMG Mori machine for my company =D

no pics, manufacturing will be started back up next week.

but here is a rendering :)

Attachment 80323

new revision will have the weld on bracket mount removed and the bracket will be bolted to the top since I will now have a cnc press brake in house to bend up brackets and tabs. We are also moving from hose fittings to 100% AN fittings, no more barb fittings. I have an amazing relationship with a company that manufactures the AN lines and fittings now.

wheee! 11-27-2013 04:21 PM

Very nice!

I'd like a set of "hamburger" emblems that say DATSUN instead of NISSAN. But I'm guessing it wouldn't be a high-volume item. Probably a one-off. ;)

like that only with DATSUN?

I'd like to see engine bay parts made up, especially from one consistent company with a consistent design. Ex. All caps have similar shape even though different design. Allow for color combinations as well. I think that is what is lacking for aftermarket parts for the Z. Especially for them show people.

AzSpeng 12-10-2013 07:12 PM

Thats what I'm shooting for!

jofro6 12-10-2013 08:39 PM

mmm i could def use all my caps in cut in a sweet design, and gold colored haha Im def in if you start making engine bay parts
