Bigger Permanent Molding Press pt.2/3 - Machining The Platen Plates

The big molding press project continues with the machining of the platens. The 3 plates needed holes drilled and bored in them for mounting the support rods, as well as the hardware for making the press move, not to mention the mold itself. Machining is easy when it's aluminum, but it's much more fun when it's aluminum that you recycled and casted yourself!

There is something really great about seeing a useful thing made from scratch. That is a pretty good machine shop that you have access to.
