Is it 3,4, or 5 axis??? You could start out with a thicker piece of workstock, do some 3D contouring, and end up with a piece like TB6 posted only yours will be solid billet:thumb: That way you can still keep the 3" outlet
just a 3 axis machine, and I got confused with my brothers machine shop, he runs a haas,a dand we have the cincinatti 3axis, and a dainichi 2axis lathe, and then a couple other small mills. And yea it would be nice to make one solid billet piece, but trying not to tie up to much machine time. We'll see where it goes..
