Paul

are you sure you want to use 7075??
I have a great source for 7050 with certs cheap cheap cheap it's all boeing
scrap.
maore than you will ever use. My machine is not being used at the moment.
I can machine the plates and squares
if you send me the drawings.

I'll get back to you when I get back from check rides Tony.
What dwg format can you use. We might try a built in planet
carrier on the 4 inch aluminum shaft.

Perhaps Ed needs something right at the moment?

Hi Tony,

I could use Al 7050 for a "good" low price.
dia 4"  ~ 1 ft lg
dia 3.5" ~ 1 ft lg
dia 3" ~ 1 ft lg
dia 1.5" ~ 2 ft lg

Could you quote a price?  Do you also have rectangular shapes?
Rolf, (you may contact me directly, if you wish: rolf@ropexgroup.com)



I hav'nt had a chance to look at the specs on it yet, If it is similar to
6061 or better, then it should make good housing material. We need 6 to 6.5"
OD. I think $10 bucks an inch is cheap for a 4.25" dia 7075 T73 bar stock.
So I'll be delighted to get something for about the same price for the
housing.
