Project Notes
Real parts from the C&W shop floor, each with what it is, what it is made of, how it was machined and checked, and why it was done that way. No stock photos.
Aluminum plates clamped directly to the table of a Haas vertical machining center for face and profile milling, the bread-and-butter setup for brackets, cover plates and fixture bases.
A production lot of stainless bushings, turned, faced and chamfered on the CNC lathe and lined up for inspection before they ship.
A turned stainless shaft held in a vise on the vertical mill for a cross-hole: the second operation that turns a plain shaft into a pinned assembly component.
A machined stainless frame on the granite surface plate, probed to verify hole location and flatness before it leaves the shop.
A four-corner aluminum mounting bracket with counterbores and a centre bore, machined complete in one vise setup.
Four finished parts laser-marked with the C&W logo: a splined hub, a lightweight grid plate, a slotted block and a ground blade, each a different process on the same floor.
A stainless steel hub with machined cooling fins and an integral sprocket, turned first and then milled on the 4th axis so the teeth and fins are indexed from one setup.
A mold assembly machined from solid A36 steel plate: a deep pocket, stepped flanges and bolt patterns on every face, the kind of part where stock choice and roughing strategy set the price.
