I just received a customers raw stock today and got to thinking about metal producers and the biggest blocks of metal they can make. That led me to this forging/mold:
Largest Aluminum Injection Mold Ever |

In my old shop, we used to make oil and gas components, needless to say those were pretty large. Routinely I was working on 300lb plasma cut rough blanks. Our lathe guys were turning 48" round bar 4140 stuff for proprietary housings we made.
Some of the bodies we made were plasma cut from 4" thick plate that came to us in 12x12 foot sections.
What is the biggest parts you guys have made or worked on? Got any cool pics?
I'm usually working on small stuff so when big pieces come my way I get excited.
