Looks like edm with that square corner, not worried about stress crack? Looks tight.?
I just went to a presentation where we are installing 5 5axis cell with a robot to to wrangle 4000 tool magazine....tot ?awesome?

It's not just about speedy turnaround of outsourcing

If you just a need a simple shaft like Dave showed, OK it's
faster to DIY if you have the machines.? But if you're
designing today, you're no longer confined to think like
they did when that was made -- when everything was designed
for fabrication in three linear axes, low-speed tooling, old
alloys, etc. etc.? ?
In 5 minutes I can design a part that I could send out and
get made from titanium that is literally impossible to do on
lovely old iron.? Those machines don't do even simple curves
in 2D, can't run high rpm tooling, etc.? So Mac can make a
shaft in a few hours that would take me a week to
outsource.? But there's an unlimited number of parts that I
can also get in a week, but that Mac couldn't make from here
to eternity.? ?As soon as you get outside the limited
envelope of old iron, it's game over.
Here's a part that I had made that is very simple by today's
standards.? About 4x4x.5 stainless.? $58.? 48 hr
turnaround.? Try that on the Dave's Rambaudi or Mac's
Omniversal.
