Reply to "New Heavy Duty 351C Block, by Tod Buttermore"

March 10, 2010 - Production Begins!

quote:

If all goes well I will be starting to machine the 4 blocks I have in the shop today. The first OP fixture is already in the machine on one of the pallets while I run some small parts for Snyder on the other pallet.

I have spent the last week or so modifying the fixtures so I can get them in and out quickly. I am also working on main cap fixturing and programming. I am doing as much as I can as fast as I can. I have one machine down with a spindle drive problem so that doesn't help anything.

I will have pics asap.

Once I verify the aluminum castings I will order more and be on the way to producing the first 15 for those who have been so patiently waiting. The iron blocks look good so I ordered two more. Mark tells me there are no issues in the machining, so here we go.

If you are interested in an iron block in the near future please let me know. These first 4 are already spoken for and I know of several more that need to go out to waiting buyers. I'd like to know how many to make.

Tod
