At this time , being honest and because i have been told to keep it on the downlow unfortunately not the jigs are made for the bike manufacturer im working for ,no leaks, but i will post some for you when i get given the secrets out

Hey Jazz its an optical alignment table your quite correct , they were done on a hurco

I am designing some cnc controlled fixtures and machinery though for the shop but without an industrial cnc its kind of hard to make them

Its simply hard ano with a coating called marbocoat applied after to stop epoxy and the like adhering

Do you mind revealing what cutters you used to get the seemingly good finish?

i use the aluminium specific WNT milling cutters any aluminium specific cutter will give you a pretty nice ,they eat material though you have to be careful at your ramp in when side milling as they like to take a big bite they supply the place i used to work AMRC | The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing the fancy finish on the tooling plate is just standard mic 6 the actual face mill they use is a PCD insert on a 1.6m dia face mill ,

Is the jig for assembly/bonding carbon fiber components, will the bikes be made in the UK.

Thanks for the info - I was just interested to see if you'd done it with a cheap tool, or HSS not carbide.

Jon that finish is easy to get.?

I know, I've got finishes like that consistently when I've used good new tools and flood coolant, but an expensive strong machine certainly helps.

Mmmmmm marbocoat! cant beat the stink of a decent semi mould release. And quite scary to use when you're used to wax/pva.
