RE: First CNC Machining blog post- what is CNC machining?
Yup! I start with plate 6061 t-651 alloy aluminum... It's $3.00/lb.... an average sprocket starts at about 5 lbs of material. So it's about $15-$20 per Sprocket for cost of materials
Wow, interesting. I can't imagine how this all works,but I guess it is the bedrock of machine production. I always knew there was a machine shop in the physics department somewhere....
