Paul,  Hopefully this will come through.  I need this in a form
that a cnc will read.  It is an alloy spacer to hold my flex drive
up from the face of the flexplate by 20mm.  If I have stuffed it up
I can try again.  Finally starting to make progress with new engine
and than test the reduction drive.  What price are the gear sets
over there at the moment?

Neil.

First we have to translate the nomenclature  from Oz to US :-)

I am not sure what you are trying to do.

Take a look at these pictures and rewrite your request.

I will send it as a zipped  IGES file and your NC shop probably has
the Solid Works program that will load this and will generate the
NC mill program.

The flex plate has a pilot on the counter weight so the bolt holes
have some lee way in diameter and bolt circle position. One never
pilots on the bolts themselves.

The pilot diameter is 77.74 mm which is about 3.000 inches. I think
the rotary was designed in inches back in 1969.

Paul, he is saying that he needs the file type that a CNC machine
reads, G-CODE ! He may not have a CAM program, or he just wants to
walk into a CNC job shop and have it done.

Steve Carlisle

Possibly. G code is not standardised. I took a course in it years ago
but I forgot almost all I knew about it :-) It is unlikely any machine
shop now a days cannot handle IGES files in SolidWorks or
Rhino and print out the dimensions if they did it in G Code.
There are plenty of programs that convert SolidWorks files
to G code if they go that route.

The main problem is I cannot figure out what Neal wants.

I think he wants to space the flex plate back from the counter
weight but I am not sure. The counter weight is essential.
