In today's Video I show you how I machined a connecting rod for my lost foam cast V Twin engine on my converted CNC Mill. The conrod is made from 1045 hot rolled steel and will run bronze bushings in the small ends. I designed and programmed the part in Fusion 360 before machining it from 25x25mm square stock.
The rod weighs 100 grams making it lighter than a stock Lifan pit bike conrod by 14 grams. All in all I am happy with the result and am one step closer to completing this project.
