Little of this little of that. | |
We are a small aerospace machine shop. The reason for the monster is not just to 'deburr' but mostly to get a consistent surface finish, for anidizing and painting (saving man hours). And our parts are at least 8 foot long.
90% of the material we use is 7075 or harder aluminum. And the media we use is a mediem soft cone. 75% 1 inch. 25% 3/8 for small radios, and joggles. Dont think the media would stand up to long to steal or cast, but it is possible.
The machine is 10' long 24" wide 36" tall. It looks like a box but is rounded on the inside. A 1750rpm 3hp 60hrz motor, 2 3/16 inch shaft with about 35lbs of counter weights, All can be adjusted. 6 car springs, and most of the materials were taken of a old warner swasy lathe we junked out. Total cost (minus my labor) $4,000 most of that is media, 3,000 lbs.
Dont know if it will let me post video but will try,
