I am looking for qty 4 of a prototype wheel half, 6.5in diameter, 2.4in long, Al6061. Could also be metal spun if you have that capability (0.125in thickness).
Please contact if you would like the drawing to quote.
We would like to see if this is something we could mill competitively on a cnc rather than turn on a lathe. If you would forward a drawing or step file, we would be happy to provide you a bid. Please send files to helmuth@qtfabrication.com
6 inches is comfortable on my largest CNC Lathe. 6 inch diameter is the max on a lot of CNC lathe models, that is probably why no lathe guy responses, I know it's not because everyone is busy. I have gone up to 6.5, but it takes some "Don't try this at home efforts" send me the print, depending on the configuration I might be able to do it. My e-mail is info@steelwright.com,..........Bob
If this job still open I would like to have a chance to quote it for you.

Thanks. Rigo Plascencia
