Composite DLG glider
In the early stages of an exciting new project. Laid up a sample wing section. Foam core with fiberglass and carbon fiber skin

Needed these bushings to be as precise as possible. We machined them net on the tormach 440 then warmed the plate to 350 and froze the bushings. May have been a bit excessive, but after inspection they are located within .002” relative to each other. Can’t ask for more than that!

Powder coated parts loaded back on the vacuum fixture for some final engraving. Looks super sharp! Photos of the final result coming soon.

First time using the vacuum fixture. Allows us to eliminate clamps and use the SuperFly cutter to get that amazing mirror finish. Next we will powder coat then mount back on the vacuum fixture to do a final engraving.

Putting the finishing touches on the vacuum holding fixture. All that's left is to tap some holes and install the vacuum seal.

Working on a vacuum work holding fixture. The the tolerances on these dowel holes are sooo satisfying. The fact this machine has the capability of making a hole .0005” oversized is insane.
