Hola,
I'm in a machining/cnc course at a university and have come to posess a 5"x5" roundstock of Grade 5 titanium. This semester is all about personal projects and I really want to make the most of this impressive piece of metal. I was hoping for some ideas on what to do with it. As a reminder, it is a 5" diameter, 5" long piece of solid Grade 5. Furthermore, all operations must be feasible on MANUAL MACHINES. I have access to just about any tooling necessary with some more than adequately powerful lathes and knee mills. I was thinking of making a roughly 4" diameter D20, but I want to challenge myself with something reasonably accomplishable in a 6 month period.
Be gentle, it's my first post.
Thanks! and I can't wait to hear your ideas with what I can do with it.
