I ordered $60 worth of 304 stainless steel (inc. shipping), and it's 3/8 thick and a foot square. I'm going to make myself a 2.5" exhaust flange to mate with my Greddy SP exhaust that's been off forever, and then I'll have all this stainless to use. So, I'm figuring, why not just program the CNC to use half or the entire block of metal and make some flanges or something.

So, what is in the highest demand? Does any of you want me to try to make something for you? I can definitely try, and if I mess up, you won't have paid me funds that I will have already spent. Oh, and I need to know exact specs if I'm going to be making T flanges or whatever. Everything has to be programmed into the mill by hand.

 

The block is too small to make head flanges. I guess some 3-bolt exhaust flanges that are machined to accept a donut gasket?

 

Yea, basically, that was implied...but, like what flanges are in demand?

 

I mean, any basic flange can be made more easily with a plasma table. You should try to do something different and show how nice it is... For example V-band clamps... They are IMO the most leak-free and trouble-free flange type made, but hardly anyone makes or uses them.

SSAC actually sells a set of flanges and a V-band for $31, which I think someone could do better on.

 

Interesting. Anyone else?

 

I would buy a Miata flange from you... Im local too!

What would you want for it?

 

Heh, but what kind of flange? Remember that I don't have a block that big if you're talking about an exhaust flange...
