Re: D11 New Project
Yes ok we looked at that but thought that the cutter would give a round finish and not give the nut enough to hold onto. The way we have done it should give maximum strength. Maybe if there is any interest in the finished model the next round could have this detail, but at this stage the three machines are for us to play with.

Re: D11 New Project
Yes very observant the next op will take out the extra material, we have got two pieces together (proto type) I will take a photo and put it up now.
These were the first links and track plates out of the machines, so the real thing will have a better fit and look. Last edited by titandigs; 09-29-2011 at 07:17 AM. |

Re: D11 New Project
Will there be a bushing on the short side for the pin to pass through? I like the start of those grousers. Will you drill and tap blind holes to mount them? Put a scale next to them so we can get a feel for the size of your tracks.

Re: D11 New Project
If you have a look on page one, in the carboard box you will see the mounting holes for the track plates and the extra two holes are for holding the pin in place.
The track plates will be 61mm long based on a 36inch 1.1 |

Re: D11 New Project
OPPS, I missed those holes I was noticing the Red Bull drink box. I guess that stuff is world wide. My kid drinks all that stuff. I'm afraid of it
2.40'' wide tracks, That will look really good. Last edited by 9W Monighan; 09-29-2011 at 08:02 AM. Reason: track width |

Re: D11 New Project
Any thought of adding a full radius keyway cutter to your 1st op on the track links so you don't have to mill the inside ends of the track links for clearance in a 2nd op?? Like I said, I have been running 4 axis Okumas for over 20 years and know a lot of short cuts!! Also, you might want to look into fine-tooth roughing cutters to hog out most of the material on the track plates. Looks like you used 1 on 1 end of a track plate??
Just some ideas

Re: D11 New Project
Pual , the plates look good I was thinking of making the 1's for my TD40 in 1 piece , but seing how yours are coming out I think I just change my mind , although I only got a 3 axis so , I'll just attack it differently

Re: D11 New Project
I see you said you are making 3 dozers at once. Are you planning on selling these or are they being made just for yourself?

Re: D11 New Project
The scale is 1/15 and the three dozers will be one for me one for my nephew and the last for my brother-inlaw. Who knows if they turn out ok and there is interest a kit could be possible, but its not on the list of things to do as the time involved is huge

Re: D11 New Project
Those turned out really nice. Did you make the grousers one at a time or machine a longer strip then cut to proper length?
