thanks for lookin

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I have always liked your wheels, Steve, but I like that headache rack even more! That is really nice. Did you make a die to bend the reinforcing ribs on doors on the cabinet like that, or just wing with a sheet metal vise grip?

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

thanks Nate , the doors are my 1st attempt at 3D milling :o now that I know for sure I got 10K spindle ,it'll go faster :)

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I like it :) Headache rack looks cool too, very sharp detail. Makes me want to build a daycab tractor just to be able to mount one of those on the back too!

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Lookin good Steve!

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Looks great Steve. Very professional.:cool:

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

3D milling? Wow, no wonder they look perfect!

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

Looking good Steve. You'll find even a 10k spindle feels way to slow at times... mine is anyway.

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

I just put in for a solidworks demo , We'll see I may need a crash course on 3D drawing . I've drawn in 2D since I used a drafting table :o I still got much to learn yet :o seems like an up hill battle evrey day :(

thanks Jeff , yea , I have it at 6600 and thats starting to look slow :eek: they got the parms set at 7200 so I'm going to call just to be sure . Don't wana loose a bearing :eek: . then I go to the lathe @ 400 :eek: time is standing still . I seen spindles up to 14K so far .

Re: IH5900i heavy haul tractor
 

That headache rack is a real big ticket item. I wouldn't mind one of those on a future truck.
