One more thing
I will tomorrow cut the 4 plates, its 16mm thick, i need to plane it down to 12.5, or even more since the heat treating will bend them, 12 is final, I can do it on the old precision grinder after heat treating.
Before that, I can cut the plates, shape them on the planer, maybe grind them on the sides, the length is important later on, use the press drill and files to make the pockets for the bolts and all i have left before heat treating is the angle, which i can't do myself, I will need the CNC guy, I wouldnt like to make him do more than 2 hours, half an hour a blade, we exchange services and rarely dabble in money.
From my days as a button pusher, I remember that ball mills are rarely used, but for this they would be perfect.
If this metal is tough on tooling, would it make more sense to save time and the tooling, for the mill to cut on X axis while stepping both to Y- and Z-, or immediately go Y-Z- and step by X?
I can make a model, I think I can program it too, to save all the preparation and stuff.
And the cnc guy is a psychopath, he will ramp it up each pass if the program is good.
He works on a HURCO machine.
