Good morning all 

Who said machinists and engineers can’t work together lol

This RFQ came to me as a weldment.. a 7 inch bar beveled and welded to a 1.500 plate.. it needed thermal stress relief and final machine.. 

Recently I have made a relationship with a steel mill in the USA and started supplying American made A36 plate. I thought this would be perfect to supply out of solid plate.. no welding, no transportation for stress relief, one sound peice of beautiful steel..

I proposed both options to my customer, and my customer chose my offer..

Saved my customer 15% on my in house processes alone and Because I was grateful, I put some love into them and made them Bentleys. 

if you’re struggling with poor steel quality… maybe it’s time to try some one new.. i roughed milled all 4 parts on two edges of a 4 sided insert.. if this was Chinese or Turkish steel every 2-3 inch’s down you would have to rotate your inserts.. 

Food for thought.. people think they save on material costs but will spend 1000’s on inserts without blinking an eye.. 

Please enjoy! 🍻
