I actually checked it in several locations. I also was using the setting that takes the largest sample. I could have probably gotten a 0 or 1 ra if I set it to the small sample mode.
What what? an Ra of 3!?!?!?!?

If you can achieve this consistently what IJ said is right.
Are you willing to do this as a paid service? Or is this just one of those fringe benefits of the job you can't abuse?

ROFL that was the funniest thing I've read all week.
You opened your mouth. lol uhh... er.... I mean you typed ....?Rennat;1255486 said:
lol, my family owns the shop, and noone has any issues with me doing this as long as I use machines that aren't being used, and I clean up after myself. The only thing I see as an issue is; what are people willing to pay, and how much of a pain in the ass people are to deal with. I've done other machined products that require a core in the past and it's been nothing but a pita. Maybe you have some advice on this subject?Supracentral;1255507 said:
If that meter has been calibrated and did infact read correctly on the standard that came with it, then hot damn that's a nice finish!!! It seriously doesn't look that smooth cause I can see where chips rolled over but I can't see how deep those scratches are. I can also tell that the cnc machine it was done on was rather large which would help limit any sort of chatter.
Want to deck my head? LOL

Seriously, put that profilometer on a sheet of glass and see what comes up.
The semiconductor world knows what flat is. Try maintaining a bow across 4 inches < 4 microns and an LTIR (local total indicated reading) of <0.5 microns across 15x15mm. If you can hold that then you know what flat means.
why can't we mail you the head we want decked with a money order inside the shipping box? As far as charge...I'd pay $150 for you to deck mine!
I'd deck my own but our milling machines are never open:-(

It's measured against Tanner's head
(still interested in the cutter info when you get a chance 4U)

I think what you are seeing is the coolant on the areas that I didn't clean off for the profilometer. If you see it after it's cleaned off with acetone you'd see what's going on better. When it's cleaned off it has that weird irredescent reflectiveness that aluminum has when it's polished and buffed out.
impressive. but what does that have to do with ra?3p141592654;1255602 said:
I'm thinking right about that price, but I want to do more of a group buy, that way I can do several at once, so I can schedule machine time, so there won't be any delays. But that would mean I would need a certain amout by a certain date. Or it's a nogo.gaboonviper85;1255603 said:
I also need to build a fixture plate for milling these heads. Setting up ontop of a dozen 123 blocks just sucks.

ahhhhh you just ran the first joke into the ground.
I'll get the info tomarrow. I think they do a smaller cutter, but I'm still concerned about the rigidity of your machine. I'll have to take some pics of the machine I was using. It's a very stout machine, and it's 2 months old.
A group buy is cool and all but for such an important part and the fact that not everyone is building a motor at the same time I think it's a bad idea....I need my head decked soon...I'm not ready to send it out yet as it's at another shop but they are fucking me over....so if and when I get the head back I'll need it decked and back to me asap...it's not something I personally will wait for considering it's importance to a motor swap.
That's cool no rush
Just curious and would like to do some research/education for my own benefit as not being in industry these days I miss a LOT.

It just looks like a multi insert shell cutter with diamond inserts...or carbide but such a nice finish is usually diamond
This thread has taught me so much. thanks guys!
As well my head will need decking when summer is over, so if you have prices and all that stuff figured out by then let me know.

it's a special carbide insert that costs about 10$ apiece. Diamond inserts are for high finishes at high production. the biggest difference in aluminum for diamond inserts is wear life, and as a gimmick to sell automotive parts.gaboonviper85;1256306 said:
This is why you only see diamond inserts in high production situations. Unless you just like wasting money.

I'm working out a deal for getting the heads milled through the shop. I'll let everyone know once I get everything worked out.
