Hello folks, I have been developing a small English wheeling machine, these are the bottom 'anvils' need CNC profiling. The material needs to be hard. EN8 Steel or harder is best. They are 44mm overall diameter, so they are not big bits of metal.

There's 30-off of each profile required. 90 total cut.


If anyone is interested in cutting these, give me a call, or email through profile.
I have larger drawings. There is 30-off top anvils too. approx 125mm diameter, but as this is stock sise, it could be reduced 5mm dia.

There is also now the top Anvil, again EN8 or better, 30-off. I have scalloped out one side in order to get the weight down. So staring off as standard round there is some machine time involved.

Try this fella of the Visordown web site www.visordown.com/forums/member.php?u=25010 He's a bit off the wall and weird (he's the one who bought the lone sprout off ebay!!!!! Saying that it got his buisness noticed as a result ) his work is top notch and always seems to find the time to drop all and sort out stuff for you. The works Aprilia supermoto team use his services so he can't be all that bad

Thanks for the help, the laserwork has been cut now.

I still need sensible pricing on the 'turned' components now...
So if you know anyone, who wants the work,

Material needs to be EN8, so nice and aaaarrd!!
Might suit a hobbiest turner, or anyone who has access to facilities and wants to do a "home job". 30-off each profile to make.



Print them out and hand them to your in house engineers and see if you can help. The larger wheel can be 4mm or so smaller if needed too.

As a buyer for a Wellingborough enginering company, I have some good machining contacts in the area. Unfortunately, the small quantities and the material wont lend themselves to a good price commercially, but please contact me if you want some names to talk to.
