Here’s some pics from start to finish of our custom pulley machining capabilities. This is a three groove crank pulley for a Cadillac. Custom pulleys start off as a long solid round hunk of 6061 aluminum. We sometimes make the pulleys out of steel but most of the time out of aluminum. After we cut [...]

Here’s some pics of a blade hanger, or bracket as Caterpillar calls it, for a 16M grader.

We setup our portable [...]

We machined their [...]
