i am currently running fairly large sized connecting rods at work right now , they are castings run on a horizontal cnc 4 axis 1 op.
something that looks so simple is actually a very involved part ,on a good day we get three parts per shift and we don t dick around
you may need to look at the number of operations involved if your going to run them on a bridgeport , you will be looking at a good number of them ,
don t get me wrong ,i say all the power to you , have fun !
remember save the spot faces and bores to the very last operation |
