Glad to hear it. I will just paint them as part of my car repaint, going on right now.

These look great, Mike!!

Hey Mike-

@Mueller

1 X 914-8

1 X 5.7

Thanks as always...hope we meet up again soon. Always fun hanging out with you.

Oscar

Thanks, Mike, for the 914-8 emblem.

It looked great in brushed aluminum and maybe even better after I had it chrome plated to match the letters on the engine lid and bumpers.




Thanks also for you you do for us teeners!

-Dick-

That came out nice!

Is there a "secret handshake" I need to know?


PS: These continue to look great...just slightly envious!

Tony

I didn't like the chamfers on your emblems so I am going to make another set this week.

Curious how do you mount these? Are there tabs like stock or double sticky tape?

His are bare so double sticky tape, but you can add studs if you have to...to much work IMHO. Visually, sticky tape is undetectable. I like mine!!!

Oscar

After I don't know know how many months I finally have Tonys emblems done.

That 2.3 should confuse a few people

Look good, thanks.

Thanks Mike...sent PM requesting total.

Your badges are awesome, well worth the wait...

Oscar

Hi, can you make me a 2.2? What would be the cost with shipping to the UK. Thanks.

Hi Matt, that 2.2 is yours... I thought I PM'd you however I might have forgot.

Here's one of Mike's emblems chrome plated to match the PORSCHE letters on the engine lid...

Wow, looks great in chrome.


Made these holders with my little laser cutter. I use to put emblem in plastic bag and put in box for mailing.

Going out tomorrow.

Can you make them like the early car's gold color? If so I need a 2.0 and one that is a 3.2

Thanks,
Buck

Hi Buck

No gold right now , only bare aluminum.

Pm sent.

Hi Muller,

I have tried to PM you?

Can I please order a 914 GT badge in silver (Standard trunk size)

It will be shipping to the UK.

Hey Mike,

Still making these?

Also wondering..

Let me look, I might have one at home.

I have 2 in stock, will PM you.

Mike

Short update for anyone that cares,

The emblems have been a love/loathe project for me for sometime.

My current mill is or was not ideally set up for such a small part. Spindle speed too slow (takes a long time to cut even a small emblem), no flood coolant (required me to stand there and blow chips off part to as not clog things up and break a cutter) plus a few other little things here and there.

Like many others I would cheap out on machinery or tooling and it has been getting me depressed and frustrated for a while. I wouldn't want to go out in the garage to work on my own projects or work on something for someone else.

Finally I had a talk with the wife (and kids) and we've come to the conclusion that I need to invest a little in the home shop. It was a hard sell at 1st with the wife but in the end I think it will be better for me mentally and emotionally and if I can make a few dollars back, financially

Basically this is my public apology for anyone interested in an emblem and I have let you down by not getting back to you or delivering (for the record I have never received funds and not delivered a part)

A great post Mike.

Picked this up on Monday, 550 lbs and my back is still feeling it today.

Took 30 seconds to load it on the trailer with a fork lift and an hour by self using an engine hoist.

Had to take the spindle off to repair some hoses and make room for the slings

Neat little machine, cast iron frame with a 24,000 rpm water cooled spindle.
Runs on LinuxCNC which is an open source software.

Hope to be making chips this weekend.

Very cool!!!

Sweet. Asian? Power feed? DRO?

Chinese base machine with Taiwanese linear rails and ballscrews.

Full CNC control so the computer will control the speeds and feds and has a DRO.

My lathe is all manual with hand cranks and that has DRO.

I'm looking forward to doing some 3D machining which this should be ideal at.

I've never seen you post anything about your lathe but I figured you had one. This Old Tony has a good video about replacing the ball screws.Can't wait to see you turn out some things on the mill. Bitching!

We have a runner, test run of a 2.3 emblem.

Due to work and crazy schedule won’t be able to make these until 4th of July weekend.

@tygaboy

Cool router table!

What kind of spindle is on that thing? Curious if it's one of those ~3 kW DC drive jobbers.

2.2kW 3 phase AC spindle.

Manual tool change, ER20 collets. I would love to upgrade it to automatic tool changer spindle but not sure if I'll go that route or not.

Hi Mike, could I possibly order an emblem for my blue 914 build that's in the works. Would like it to read "914-4 VW (logo)-2.3S". Ok without VW logo if that's a stretch. Please advise on payment.

Mike how about a dozen 2.3 porsche font

In process.

How about a "3.0 Su" for the Subaru crowd?

One of these is not like the others.
