Gforce axles - How it's made - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GFORCE1320 · 11-22-2010, 11:00 PM

As some of you know, we have been installing some new cnc machines in our shop to bring all our cnc work in house and got way behind on making axles and just about everything else we make.
I'm glad to say that all the equipment is now up and running great and were cranking out the best drivetrain parts on the planet once again :turbonaug

I'd like to thank everyone for being so patient and having faith in us to deliver when our back log was so huge.

I know everyone loves to see pics and video of how things are made so I thought I would post up some cool pics and video of how we make axles and other various parts.

I'll probably add more pics and video over the next few days.

Thanks
Chris

Here are axles waiting to be turned on the lathe.
You can see the 300m axles in the pile, they are the shiny ones. The dark ones are 4340.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Chris. Your 9" IRS is next on my to do list. Now I just need to start saving more money.

We can cnc machine just about anything so I look forward to working on some new projects

Thanks
Chris

I'll add the cnc work we do on the Camaro billet pinion yokes this week. It's neat as hell.

These are inner bolt together stubs being made.

And a few pics of billet pinion yokes being made, these little babies have a but load of machine work involved!

We changed the design on these a bit from our old ones.

Here is a video of some cnc engraving on a billet pinion yoke.

Cool stuff, I love seeing how this crap is made.. now it makes sence why it's so expensive LOL

I was running some billet aluminum pinion yokes today on our lathe and thought I would share a video. This is the first operation, I'll post up the other operations when I get to them.
Most places the owner sits in an office, not me, I'm usually out in the shop running cnc machines or designing parts and doing R&D.

Thanks
Chris
