My wife is a surgical nurse and when she was going through her class I'd help her study and I remember they tools they use like drills, saws, hammer and it is amazing how much the tooling they use for replacing body part like hips knees are like what we use to build machines. Awesome build
Ah yeah I've seen some of that too. Very cool. Makes me queezy thinking about a doctor going to town on someone's femur with a pistol drill or a saw though. It takes all kinds. I'll happily hang out in the shop and make the tools.
@@RussellMakes same it was hard for me to help her study, my blood no issues not my blood major issues... a joke we have when it comes to that stuff is wet, warm and not mine it's a nope for me. Grease, oils, metal, wood if I must
@@goncalovazpinto6261 the original looks like it was made and chamfered on a lathe. Since I used a mill to cut the hex head I had the mill chamfer it too, so the chamfer is there, it’s just a different style.
Thanks. This was a couple years ago so I don’t remember exactly. Pretty sure it was north of $400. That may seem ridiculous for 1 bolt but considering the expense of the material and time making fixtures, recutting threads for a perfect fit, making aluminum prototype pieces…probably should’ve been more.
That is sweet. I have never seen such a shiny machined part. Great work.
Thank you!

Wicked setup you got man, sweet video.
Just curious, why not include the chamfer on the bolt head like in the original?

Nice part! What CAM software are you using?
Thanks! Fusion 360.
Looks great! How much did you charge for that amount of work?
