In a first for my shop I'm taking on some parts that aren't actually for me. But I wouldn't exactly call it commission work. The Formula SAE team I was a part of back in college was in need of some help, so I was more than happy to oblige! They've entrusted me with making their front wheel spindles.

Enjoy!

PATREON - Making Spindles for a RACE CAR! || INHERITANCE MACHINING

If you’d like to sponsor or donate to the Formula Kentucky racing team check out https://sae.engr.uky.edu/sponsorship For other forms of donation/sponsorship (parts, materials, tools, machining, etc) email the team directly at formulakentucky@gmail.com This week in the manual machine shop I’m helping out some old friends. When I was at the University of Kentucky, I was on the Formula SAE (Formula Student) team where we designed, built and raced with a Formula 1 style race car. The main competition we attended was at the MIchigan International Speedway, and included many performance based aspects like an autocross style endurance race. As well as engineering design and cost evaluations. Just as was the case when I was on the team, the new team was looking for help in whatever form possible. So I’m lending my machine tools and the little knowledge I’ve built up to help make the front wheel spindles. They are made from 6061 aluminum and connect the wheels and brake rotors to the car through tapered roller bearings. There is a lot of machining involved in these but I’m especially excited for all the glorious lathe work. And already I can see a few side projects creeping up.

Wow! What a blast from the past. More so because I had to do the exact same thing when I was a part of our team haha! We had a slighly unfortunate event where our spindle broke in testing about a week before competition, so we had to make new ones. The only difference was that we used 7 series aluminium, and it wasn't anywhere near as good haha What a great way to start a day by seeing a new video from you, Brandon.

Jason Noiles

Really appreciate the calm, gentle nature of your videos. No shouty nonsense, terrible music or distractions. *bliss*

Inheritance Machining

Oh no! 😂 Believe it or not I made all 4 when I was on the team way back when as well. Not under the same kind of pressure as you though! Thanks as always, Erik!

James Riordan

I think your observation about the cut outs interrupting the harmonic waves is spot on; will file this away for future use !

Benjamin Limmer

I'm actually in my college's SAE Baja team (Grove City College) right now, and I will say that having the head of the campus machine shop (where I also work as a TA) happen to be an alum of ours does make everything work out a lot better for us as a team.

Sri Ram Neravati

Not having a machine shop at a UC (University of California) I attend, was quite disappointing. I didn't join FSAE for that reason but this video made me happy to see the your old team getting the support they deserve!

Inheritance Machining

I can only imagine. Most teams (from what I've seen) need all the help they can get. Having an inside guy can really make a world of difference.

Inheritance Machining

I know that pain. Our team had a lot of trouble just getting going just because UK doesn't have a student shop either. We ended up befriending the manager of the College of Agriculture research machine shop or we wouldn't have had a car at all. Great guy

Jeffrey Spoor

Another great episode Brandon, looking forward to of more to come!
