You may recall my post about the Ferrari F50 wheel model I made in 2004. Well, it seems the time has come to make the darn thing!

Magic unfolds!
Sadly, I have been unable to finish the wheel. Without a highspeed lathe style cutting operation on the rim tub, I cannot give it a "turned" finish look. Second, it takes hours for the mill to do what would take a lathe seconds to finish. There's a way, but for now i'm moving on to newer ventures.
More to come!
P.S. I tried making a video of the endless wheel machining footage, but alas it was awfully boring to watch. Maybe next time!
