272 pop up

[Huskygasaxe]

had a pop up cut by an old and experienced machinist here. He does farm repair mainly, not much aluminum. He left a few small marks. Looks good otherwise. What do builders charge to cut a pop up if dimensions are given?

Welcome to the OPE!
@GoBigBlue1984 is the only one I have seen a price posted on lathe work.

Have them wrap the piston in packing tape next time. I charged $50 for base and squish cut. Most are in that ballpark

Looks to be a very small pop up. .025? Most people wont even fire up a machine ans set up something for less then 50 bucks. Now good people hook eachother within our tight nit group. Ive met sone very nice people here and at gtgs.

I was gonna say masking tape....
Packing tape is cool too.
If I had a lathe, I'd charge bout $20-30 to cut a piston

I always had packing tape laying around. Just a popup I never did so I never thought about it. Probably $20 would be a deal for both

Guys with a ton of overhead and machine tooling usually won’t even look at guys like us.

I run popups in some of my 372s
268 for 50mm and 272 for 52mm
I really like them.
Just drop in no base or squish cut.
I don't have a lathe
Had them made.

Brass shim stock is another way to take the bight out of the lathe jaws .
