We are looking at some Ampco parts. Nobody else wants them.... Should that be taken as a clue?
There are NO 10 foot pole marks on these parts.
Around 18" long, +0.000" / - .001" on a lot of dimensions. 3.000" +/- .002 wide, and includes a fin, or blade the length of the part, .015" thick and .6" wide... Again tight tolerances all over...
And don't forget the radiused curves to it, all to tight tolerances..
So, we have made a few tons of 954 parts. They don't bother me at all.
1.) How much could I learn making some practice parts from 954, or something else..
To learn how to fixture a part shaped like that... Making a long, skinny, fragile fin... etc...
2.) any other metal I might want to learn on, for these parts?
3.) I haven't looked too hard yet, but so far I have only seen Ampco in round rods...
Hate to take a 3.0" ++ round and machine it down to .015" thickness...
Any advice ?.. besides RUN!!!!! RUN Away! ?
Always looking for that next job... Have to look under a few rocks to find it..
The guy who used to make these parts... Sold the shop, Retired.
I don't think He wants to talk about them.. A bit of trauma. Off for the golf course therapy.
