Freestyle Can this be done?

Keep in mind I know nothing about Cnc machines or what their limitations are.

Can a cylinder be made on a CNC machine?

What does the tech need as far as info to make one?

Has it been done before?

I have a customer that has one and he builds high quality race cars, and it sparked that maybe he can make me a set of cylinders similar to Dasa, powerhouse for considerably cheaper

Who is going to be spending the hundreds of hours developing the programming for that cylinder, you or him?

the tooling required would put you wayyy above their cost.

There's a reason DASA cylinders are so expensive. That reason is because of the MASSIVE effort it takes to design and machine them on a CNC machine.

This is the info I was looking for. I knew it wasn't easy but just wasn't sure I didnt really talk to him a lot about it

 

[shaunsteezy]

there are numerous other parts that can be manufatured prity easily, a cylinder in not one of them haha

Spend time developing something that is not readily available.
