racer Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 CEJ, from your professional standpoint how many hours do you think are involved in a set of cases like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 CEJ, from your professional standpoint how many hours do you think are involved in a set of cases like that? Well, to tell you the truth, I looked at a pump housing for an ice cream plant yesterday that was 16" square with all sorts of machining, offset, elliptical shit etc etc....I could lift it with one hand...not a huge part...$15,000. Being that its aluminum, with some high speed top of the line machining, there might be 10 hours worth in a set. The biggest price is in the aluminum, which changes daily. When I get a quote on aluminum or steel, I have to order it within 4 hours. But its really hard to say how much time is really going into those. I don't have the machines I wish I had. I've ran a few when we did have them, but nothing that was super fast, and rigid. I can imagine the tooling is expensive as hell. I've seen drills that are over $120 each. Coolant through drills, that arent cut in the drill shape, but twisted into that shape. And when you get a mill that has 20 HP or 40HP, you're talking some serious cash tied up in that machine. It has to be rigid and powerful as hell to cut with 40 HP. I'd be willing to say that alot of that $3,000 cost is paying for the tooling, the machine, and the know how. I couldn't make them, not even for $10,000 or even $20,000. I simply can't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 How do you get an 800cc? Good lord...you might open a time portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 How do you get an 800cc? Good lord...you might open a time portal. By sticking rotax cylinders on it. You can also put Jet Ski cylinders on banshee cases if memory serves correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemimike Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hey cotton eye joe, what kind of work do you do? I think we do the same type jobs, I do some cnc work and teach a small machine shop course in the middle east. I agree the tooling and fixturing on that part would cost a fortune.

broke Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Those give me bad ideas. I have a sled sitting here with an 800 Rotax twin in it that is just waiting for winter. Maybe I could turn the jugs into a dual role set-up. The wife is already looking over my shoulder saying "NO". broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
