Ok this is in the manner of a test..
Since my loss of a hosting service (Photobucket) by their change in use policy, i wanted to see if i have gotten the posting of photos that are hosted within this forum...
So thought some might enjoy seeing some of the work going on here..
Subject is turning some heat treated stock (4x4) into connecting rods for a 1913 Mercer (perhaps the first real sports car...big motor light chassis)
![]()
Running FP4NC with 3" inserted face mill...Depth of cut .100" Feeding at 8.5 " /min Material is heat treated 4142 at aprox. RC 32plus....
Material is rough 4"x4" and 16" long.....
Doing 4 of these....With the potential to make another 4 rod set....
![]()
Note use of twin vises.

Not earth shattering stuff here, but for our shop this is bordering on "Industrial".....

Bit more to follow if this works........
Cheers Ross
