Gearbox Machining: Day 2

Fixed Transmission, Updates

Hi All,

There’s still a lot of machining to be done on the gearbox, but our second day on the CNC brought a lot of progress. We cut out almost all of the features on the one side of the assembly.

Cutting out the inside of the gearbox. Very milky.

This video shows the radius cutting on the bearing boss. Look at smoothness of the final radius.

The final results of the work on Day 2. Once we cut some bearing bores and drill some holes, it will be time to flip to the other side of the aluminum block. Look for more progress tomorrow.
