• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

CNC program for 430 AE Clutchdrum

Thanks Steve.
The same CNC program can work on every different CNC machine?

Depends on the machine. Some subtle differences in coding between brands. Also, differences in what the machine is like physically, single pallet, dual pallet, mill and turn, etc. Programs have to be tweaked and edited to suit the individual type of machine.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not keen on CNC Machine.
 
How do you think the originals were made?

Press and die or spinning lathe perhaps. Either way most likely work hardened in the process.

Why did they go to the spiral cut in the drum instead of the bronze shoes with diagonal slots?

I love what they can do. I really enjoyed working with a Brother Speedio 140X 5 axis mill and turn. Here, a fly reel frame has just been born.:rolleyes:

5 axis work is fun. I’ve been in the trade for 7 years now. Currently I program, setup and run citizen l20x swiss machines. Make surgical robot parts. Pretty wild stuff. I also spent the first the three years doing 3/4/5 axis mill work and some wire edm stuff too.

It’d be best to come up with the process first whether it be milling, turning or both then program to the machine you have access too. There are an insane variety of machines out there with many different capacities. Your part may require a mill operation and a lathe operation depending on the limitations of the machines you have access to and the complexity of your parts. If milling, how do you intend to hold the part? Also what tooling do you intend to use? Material? What type of tolerances are acceptable? Is the part simple enough to write a program or would it be something to use cad/cam to generate code? A lot goes into it. Any pics of the part? Not very knowledgeable when it comes to the auto bikes.
 
Any further updates and what came of this? Any information on what machines this would be done or material you’d be using? Itd be awesome to see some machine work being done here on the cafe.
