CNC project billet seat latch

[lilhouskey]

Im planning on doing a billet seat latch for my ex for a CNC project for school and i was wondering if anyone could get me dimensions off of theirs. thanks very much!

if you do it and draw it up in cad or w/e, lemme have a copy. im actually in college to be a machinist ill make one for myself too, but im too lazy to dimension it and draw it

i'm in highschool but training to be a CAD/CAM designer. I know a bit bout the CNC milling but CAD is what I do best. I will try and take mine off, measure it and draw it on AutoCAD. I'll let ya know

So did I, I love building Dies and seeing a finished part!

I'm just in a tech high school and in the engineering and drafting programs. I also do robotics. I have created some cool thingson AutoCAD. I have drawn and milled the Honda logo, i've done a few houses, i drew an enzo ferrari. I actually thought about making plexy glass/acrillic air scoops haha but idk.

thats awesome to have a highschool that offers cool things like that. wish mine would have.
ill get some pics up of some projects i made later. even a small die Groves:D

My school has some pretty cool programs. Automotive has lifts and everything you need for a car. The schools only a few years old so its all technology and what not.

awesome guys thanks for the response, im in Mechanical Engineering Tech. and i love it we do a little bit of everything. Once someone gets me the basic dimensions i'll get it done in autocad and post the dwg file. anyone here use inventor? if so ill post the 3d model too.

do you not have a seat latch of your own to take the dimensions from?

at the risk of sounding like a deek!!

then you dont need to be doing it then. :rolleyes: lol being a machinist involves being able to design as well as being able to mok up something/reading and applying the information thats in front of you. it takes patients and precision. with a pencil, scratch paper and a cheap pair of calipers it may take 15 minutes at the most to record a latch. :cool:
