Yep..
More and more!!!

These are diffrent though..
Most we do have screw on end plates but these are welded..

Same taper-lok set-up as all the rest..
(But I hav'nt done the bushings yet)

Wanted to get them together and rough turned before hand so there will be less "beating" on the shaft afterwards..

Nice

Looking good ,

When it gets machined down will there be any of the weld filler left?

[zapster]

will there be any of the weld filler left?

I doubt it..

They want smooth sides so that's what they get..

...zap!

Ho-hum. Yet another job by zap with consistent and clean TIG welds on some round parts.

Good job. Again.

but ripple number 792 looks slightly different from ripples 791 and 793. tsk, tsk, tsk.

[zapster]

Ho-hum.

Exactly...

I want to do something square with hills and valleys..

...zap!

Nice work Zap. I think it's great that you do such consistently perfect "boring" jobs. I wish I were that boring....
