Wheel Machining

Wheel Machining

A wheel is crafted by machining a cylinder, then a bowl, then a shell, then grousers, spokes and hub. Like everything with technology, it sounds easier than it is.

Impressive fabrication

The wheels are impressive. They were machined similar to how the MERs wheeled were machined by Next Intent, Inc. I was curious if you had considered other manufacturing processes like welding of metal casting to fabricate the wheels?

metal machining is awesome.

metal machining is awesome. i can't explain why, but i find it incredibly fun to watch.

great wheel design too!
