Sneek Peek custom mag 500 center cap

Hello, I an in tool and die school and have been trying to make a custom centers for the Magnum 500 center caps on a CNC. I have posted a pick below (sorry Pic is not the greatest but batteries where running low in Cam)of a demo I made out of alum to see what needs to be adjusted, there is a couple on imperfections but one I get them corrected. I am going to used stanless and Panit it with high gloss black and then CNC the center so the engraving will be nice and shinny and than i will clear coat it all.

Please if you have any thoughs you think I should add please let me know.

Also I can't make these for no one but my self. but when I get this all done right. I can email the CNC coding so you can have your own done if you can find some one to do it for you. Also having the program Code already made for it should make it cheaper for you also.

thanks Jim

 

JMO but I think they would look better with just the steer head. I never liked writing all over cars, thats why I always remove all the script. Plus anyone with a Maverick could benifit. Not just those with Grabbers.

 

dennis,
these are a "one of a kind" run for his "Grabber"...I can't make these for no one but my self.... not for sale... i like the writing ....frank...

 

i like them

 

Hello, I like the writing my self, But Mavaholic if you prefur it with out any writing any CNC operater can take the writing out. like i sayed i can email you the CNC coding and it fits on a floppy and the floppy is what they use to load it in there CNC but I can all so take the wrighting out b4 emailing it also.

71gold the school will not let use use there equipment to make money, thats way I sayed if you know someone or can find some place to do it i can email the CNC coding to any one that wants it.

Thanks Jim

 

Hello, I talked to the teacher he sayed we can make them to sale just have to keep it hush hush but you will be looking at $100 a set of 4 that is just the custom centers not the caps the caps will have to be drilled and taped in 3 locations. I will take pics when i do mine to show how it is done. The teacher said a job shop would not make them unless it was a big order unless you know somebody.

I will not beable to work on mine untell the 3rd. we are out for xmas after today .

thanks Jim

 

Are you learning G code or conversational programing? and I'll take a copy of the code.

 

are they still using G code?.... just curious?

 

We are phasing back into M and G codes with Mastercam programing at my place of work. All are machines are conversational, but with the Mastercam you have much more control over the program.

Sometimes the old way IS better!

 

Yes we have studyed some on G and M coding. but I used feature Cam to make the code. I have a couple of things to chang in the program but once i go back to school on the 3rd and get them corrected i be glad to email you a copy

 

My boss has been useing Mastercam for about 10 years now. We got a new Milltronics lathe this summer and I've been learning how to run it. We've been useing the conversational programing, and we also have been running his old programs thru a post processor and running them on the new machine.

 

I know, I can read, I was going by the:

for my comment.

 

Hello, I did a couple adjustments and posted the cnc code files for the centers below, if any one has access to a cnc or can find a shop that will make them for you, they can load using these code files to make them from Alum.

The Maverick file has maverick and grabber writing just like the pic.

The mavhead just has the sterhead emblem.

We can make a set of 4 centers for A $100. If needed.

Thanks Jim

 

Sorry I didn't let you all know b4 but this was used and made on a bridgeport cnc, and the code will not work on all but will work on many beside the bridgeport. and the code was made with FeatureCAM if this helps thanks
