June 1, 201511 yr Met a guy this week looking for a commercial sand caster. He has an antique aircraft part and needs a few castings. The part is cup shaped probably 2 inches in diameter and 2 1/5 inches deep with a 1/4 inch wall. I come from an aircraft background (entire career) and the part is not structural. Please contact me if you are interested.
June 1, 201511 yr What about just machining one from barstock?By the time a pattern is made, rammed up, and cast you could probably have machined one out, and have it installed.Got a picture of the item? Edited June 1, 201511 yr by BIGGUNDOCTOR
June 1, 201511 yr Author Unfortunately The sand pattern in the part is important to the gentleman. His antique part shows the sand pattern. My experience with people who do antique restoration it is the small details that derail projects!
June 1, 201511 yr I now a couple casters who specialize in bronze, one in Palmer, Alaska not far from me, the other in Woodstock Ct.Either can do the job, whatever it is, reason isn't a factor for one of them. They'd need good mechanical drawings, including specs and lead time, both are scheduled pretty full. Neither is cheap being artists. PM me for their contact info.Frosty The Lucky.
