Jay, check out American Metal Exchange for sheet titanium if you will be going that route, good prices. Also, super envious of your X7, that will be my next machine hopefully this year!

*This is what the other guys aren't doing, Nerdly. More videos like this.*

Great video Jay! For parts like these, we typically window machine them in 1 op but that method doesn't work all of the time as there's always a few tabs that needs to be removed by hand.

Thank you for the great video. How do you decide how many to make of a part given the short sales cycle.

Great Video Thanks for sharing . My workflow for parts is very similar great tips.

With a flat side on the back, this would be a one op part for me. Maybe leave 0.001 stock and hit it on the sandpaper lapping plate to make it shine. Instead of using a bunch of vises and work offsets, I’ve started nesting parts like these in CAD and cutting them out of plate. I use the superglue and painters tape method of holding them down. I could setup a plate in the mill and run 300 of them overnight when I left the shop in the evening.

I do the exact same process you do. I draw in 360 or OnShape.. print the part to make sure it fits.. then I’ll make it for real..

I have made parts just like that for just a few parts, also I use my C02 laser to make a test part from cardboard, normally for plasma table.

I’m an rc racer and amateur 3D printer, what’s your thought on just printing in like a carbon fiber nylon. Would it be ridged enough?

Hi Jason can i ask how your experience with the trt210 table is? Have you tried machining bigger things with it yet? I‘m on the verge of buying a vf2ssyt with a trt210 but there’s not much info out there on the trt210
