Well that didn't end well. How heavy was the machine?
Cheers.

More importantly, what the heck are you buying that comes in a 40ft container? Pink paint?
Or is this one of those loan arrangements?

yes they were loaned out... I thought the container was near empty... Apparently not...

Another small project, however this time I know what it's for
I was asked if I could make an emblem to go onto a custom built car. A Kingswood (I think) with a Super Charged 202.
202.jpg
115mm wide x 41mm high and approx 4mm thick
First try the machining took WAY longer than I initially thought it would. Used a 1.5mm single flute carbide endmill so went SLOW 65mm/min .5mm per pass 3000rpm
It took a little under 4 hours to cut
Polished it up with a Dremel type tool (1 1/2 hours) and took it out to the powder coaters. I haven't got that one back yet.
Second attempt (this one) I pushed the bit up to 130mm/min and changed the cut path a little. This bought the machining time back to 1 hr 45 min. I'm fairly certain that this is about the maximum speed I would get away with being such a fine endmill. Went out and purchased a buffing wheel for the grinder, the polishing only took 15 minutes this time. This one I filled with coloured epoxy then sanded it back flush.
There are a few blemishes in the epoxy but not too bad for a first try. Next time I think I would use a vacuum chamber to remove the air bubbles.
No chance of making any money from this venture but sure has been a fun project.
Hopefully the bloke its for likes it as he wasn't totally sold on the design ...
