914 Manufacturing Projects, Fun 914 Related School Projects Options

So here's a couple pictures from projects from my manufacturing classes that I've been meaning to post.

First up is a mold for producing the stupid door-handle lifter thing that always breaks. I've found pretty cheap suppliers for them, but I needed a plastic part to make and mine had just broken. The Mold needs a tiny bit of rework with some cutters the school didn't have (mainly a long 1/16" endmill) but as you can see the part fits. (we shot it in "what was in the machine at the time" because we did it about 20 mins after the part was due) (Click For Bigger pics)

Second is a fixture for drilling brake rotors, I could say more about this but I'm tired and wanna get this stuff posted before I forget for another 4 months, feel free to ask questions:

First 9 holes look a bit off because I set the drill depth for the centerdrill a tad off (diameter v radius in some trig)

Here's a video of a bit of it in action (until I got bored and decided it was time to close the door on the machine):

The feeds are REALLY slow because it's not my tooling.

Anywho, some fun stuff I've done to get credit for playing with my 914, I'd love to hear what you guys think.
