the phantom Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Does anyone know how you go about machining the angle present on the edge of a throttle butterfly? I'm no machinist, but our machinists out back dont know either!! Or is this a job for a CNC...

Mark Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It's listed in the workshop manual for the vehicle (at least for Toyota's) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34353-machining-a-throttle-butterfly/#findComment-688245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the phantom Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hey Mark, So your saying that the Toyota manual actually has instructions on how to make one?....which manual? I don't want a replacement, I want to make a bigger one, but dont know how to go about machining that peculiar edge shape? Thanks.

Mark Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Ah I see, my mistake. I'll talk to a turner and fitter I know, I'll get back to you. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34353-machining-a-throttle-butterfly/#findComment-688302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylwgtr2 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 put the original one in the chuck and then angle the tool to the same angle and then take the reading...then make you new one and put the same angle on it....why dont your machinists know this???Its not so difficult Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34353-machining-a-throttle-butterfly/#findComment-688352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the phantom Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yeah, well I figured it out. I have to make a tool that supports the new blank throttle plate at the required angle to the lathe chuck axis, and machine it at the edge parallel to the chuck axis as it spins. Its not just a matter of measuring an angle...thats easy. You cant just put the blank in the lathe and angle the tool! The actual shape formed is an ellipse. I agree that our machinists should have suggested something. I bet if I told them I'd pay them Sunday rates to do it they'ed be full of ideas! Anyway, thanks.

Mark Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hahha, so true! (sunday rates) Pretty much what you've said is what I found out. Good luck Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34353-machining-a-throttle-butterfly/#findComment-688721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
