check it out, i just machined it tonight...took 3 hours....I just took measurements off the stock peice and traced it.

ps. the hole in the middle is not all the way through, even though it looks like it..

that looks good maybe if you felt like making more you could sell them for cheap and put designs and stuff on them

you should mill some designs on the faceplate of it.

started out with a block of T-6 alum, and yes we machined it the "old fashion way" but measuring everything with extreme acurracy and precision. (lathe, drill press, bandsaw) im not to kean on desgining a CNC programs........

I put around on my dads bridgport mill. he has this thing that tells you where you are. it is a box with numbers. and as you move back and forth the numbers change. it is way easer than trying to read the guages. I made stuff all the time. takes me forever tho. I bet i could make a pb blockoff if I put my mind to it. all except that groove. becuase I dont know how to use the lathe.

You can do that o-ring groove on a mill very easily. ;) I'm sure he did.

only if you have a turn table or somthing. or a computer system that does it.

i did mine manually also, but im wondering what you used a lathe for. i just took a block of aluminum and milled it out after laying it out. i did use the cnc mill to put my design in the middle....i would get a pic up but my fourwheeler is apart right now and i dotn wanna go out and look for it. it looks identical to the lonestar plate.
