    Large pieces of billet material, lift point added for moving between machines on the first 2 operations. Afterwards the item is light enough to pickup. Roughly 323lbs of material removed in the first 2 operations. Then the items went on to 6 months of machining to complete them. Very expensive one off pieces manufactured during R&D. Final products are low number runs of 2-3 items that take 5 months to manufacture. This was a single piece in a larger piece of equipment that I manufactured. Largest tolerance on the item was 0.0005" with true position at 0.0001". Challenging item to handle and machine
