Anything welding

Hahaha that would be dope so you can run your work remotely instead of at the computer. I have a MacBook that I do all my F360 stuff on and then I just transfer everything with a usb over to the crappy desk top in the shop. It’s close enough to the table that I just sit in a chair and click the buttons and watch and then move things around when it’s time to put more material on the table

 

How do you do the raised part, press?

 

Dimple dies I'm guessing.

 

Correct. Dimple dies on the press

Lol, I find myself doing the same thing all the time.

 

Anyone have some experience with Docol R8 shit? Apparently I'm not up on my racecar cage stuff like I use to be.

One of my cad programs has a template for spare tire mounts. You just input the # of lugs, lug spacing, and overall plate diameter and it does the rest. If you need give me those specs and I can email you a dxf file

 

docol is sweet. If I was building a track car I’d make my cage out of it over cromo.

this article compares the two materials.

That's very kind of you.

I'm paying these jag offs at F360 to learn this program, so it's kind of person to me that I learn to do these "simple" things.

I've been stuck doing shit around the yard, so I haven't had a chance to test my theory that I listed above.

I'm having a good time learning the program, just not happy with myself on how long this shit takes to learn.

I'm used to judging my days on how much work I get out the door, not something that can't be measured.

I really need to learn to slow down.

 

Should be able to draw 1 hole where you want it then use the circular pattern tool for the others 4 holes. Turn the 3 you don't want into construction lines so they don't get cut.

 

Figured I'd jump in the thread. I'm still learning but am decently happy how these shock relocation mounts turned out.

 

This is what I was looking for. I understood doing circ patron, just couldn't figure out how to make the other unless holes not get cut.

I forgot about construction lines.

Thanks!

 

Thanks for that. I also saw it can be MIG/TIG. I'm not sure how SFI will specify it tho. Thanks again.

So.....

Time to build a new tool to be used to build more stuff.





Since we are on overtime. I will probably only have time to get the steel needed and maybe do some of the prep work before we go back to work. Really wish the local steelyard was ipen on weekends.

 

Cool....a roller bender shaper thingy....

most likely a 2” belt sander I’d imagine

 

Every time I install one of these kits I keep telling myself I don’t need one, but man…

 

Your welds are way better than mine. Lol. But the Archive 2.0 trail kit is affordable and offers as much travel if your not high speed running your truck.

 

Do it, they’re awesome towers. So easy to locate too with the bolts up top.

Edit: one word of advice though, I would unbolt the e brake cable from the leaf pack. It’ll get crazy tight during articulation. If they’re worried about it rubbing on the leafs, hose clamping some rubber hose around the cable in that spot protects it from wearing out.
