Barry, I haven't forgotten about this. They keep pushing the availability back. Today, I was told another 4 months! They haven't taken any of my money so I'm not terribly worried about it. I just hoped I could get it done at the same time as the wire harness.

Our shop overhauls exhaust shrouds for Dash 8 aircraft...it deflects exhaust away from the wing...kind of a short tailpipe.We manufacture all the parts to make new ones if there is a paying customer , most just want the basic repairs.. $$$ are always a factor. As for making car parts,I'm allowed to use the machine after hours,as long as there is no chance of screwing it up for our regular production work! Barry

Is this a support machine in a repair shop? Looks like a good way to make short runs of custom or hard to find metal parts for bodywork etc. Chuck in NH

Rubber press info;   rubber is contained by outer steel edge,then cylinders compress the rubber over whatever form block is placed inside...great for stretching sheet metal the test piece was done in two hits...first over the square with the 6" hole,then with the 6" disc in the partilly formed depression to help refine the shape....the orange urethane block was placed over the disc for a little more omph

I'll take some pics tomorrow of the machine and the process (600 tons of power) in a fairly small piece of equipment. Barry

Charlie Something like this?  Just a quick pressing...mild steel .034...trim to fit...free plus shipping, this one's about 1/4" deep. Once you firm up dimensions , let me know if you want it refined . Barry L
