Default Machine time

Folks,

I wish that I could say that JBL could machine a engine block and bits in less than a 24 hour day.

Below is an example of a unit we did that took over 1500 CNC machine hours. (But, in our defense, we did 20 units, therefore 75 machine hours each.)

But, It won its class at LeMans in the Viper.



If we could get quicker on the machines, we may some day make a profit.


Maybe I should call David K. and see if they would be willing to act as consultants.


We could certainly use the help.


(Please note: we did not build the above engine. We just made the parts and designed drives etc. Caldwell Engineering is the designer and builder of the above engine. They get the credit because they did the design and build.)
