Anodised Brake Levers Return

These are the finished brake levers, having returned from being anodised matt black. There are few different varieties, compatiable with different braking systems, and they are all available via http://freshproducts.moto-rdesign.com

Machining Time

Here's some photos of a couple of the machining stages for the Fresh Products brake levers. These are all manufactured in the same way on the same jig, which is on a manually operated milling machine and is designed to allow for a number of different machining processes on the same jig.

Machining the slot into the top side of the brake lever.

Machining the concave cut-out around the back radius of the end of the brake lever. This is done with the brake lever held down onto a rotary table, enabling a perfect machining path which follows the form of the lever design.

Watercut Blanks

Took delivery today of some watercut blanks to manufacture another batch of Fresh Products brake levers. There are 32 blanks here, all cut from aircraft grade HE30 aluminium. Having them all watercut into blanks makes the machining process much simpler, as all machining is done on a manual milling machine using a specially made jig.

Ill try to get some photos during the machining process to upload here.
