Nice!

Wait, so you cut out the intercooler and welded it all together? That’s insanely impressive!

Well the end tanks and brackets. Not the cores themselves, those are vibrant.

Dang, everything about that is impressive! Mostly, though, that welding. I am getting there with my tig, but I might not have a steady enough hand for that sort of thing.

That’s still some great work. How long do you think it took to mill and weld it all together?

I did it across 3 days, but It wasn’t the whole time.

How much did you remove each pass on the aluminum ? And what speed did you use ? I tried to engrave aluminum once and did not have much luck so would appreciate any advice. Thank you

.25mm with 1/8 and .15mm with the 1mm bit.

I dont remember what speeds though, I tend to adjust everything on the fly.
