CNC Machined Aluminum Connection
This was a study looking at ways to permanently connect two pieces of aluminum. The two parts are shown above while the image to the right shows the two fitted into each other (the hairline join is visible on close inspection). With no tolerance between the two pieces, once they are pressed together it is not possible to take them apart. This joinery system is only applicable in applications where there is no torsion of the bar, however as a simple connection or under axial loading the join should hold.
Lathe & Vertical Bridgeport Studies
These pieces were part of a shop drawing exercise using Bridgeport vertical mills and metal lathes. All tolerances were ± 0.005 inches; having to follow shop drawings to precise measurements forced me to better understand the working and intricacies of the machines.
