I have machined a lot of bronze bushings in the past, but this is a new one for me.
My customer has asked me to machine some wear strips for a large assembly.
These are 3/4" x 4" bronze and they range from 5'-7" long to 6'-8" long.
The tolerances on the width are 4.000-3.997". The thickness gets machined down to .562" -.004 /+0
These also have 5/8" holes drilled through with 1" counter-bores, as well as Zig-Zag "Z" & "N" shaped grease grooves.
The grease grooves are 3/16" wide by 1/16" deep.
I double checked to see if they meant brass, but no it has to be " Bronze" . At first they said "Naval-Al Bronze"< Now they want just bearing bronze ( 660 I'm guessing.)
Before I quote labor on this, I was wondering if it will warp so bad it will be unusable.
Thanks for any & all help.
