Guy's, if I ever get the tracks done and they even work I'll be very happy. But I think I wont even dream of tracks for very long time after they are finished, hopefully I don't get any nightmares of them

But seriously I wish there was an "easy" way to cast the pads and links together, but I have never done anything like that so not sure will that be any easier

Not sure if it will be easier , Ari . I have a place down the road from me that does precision casting . they make a mold for the lost wax . A $200,000.00 + machine would be easier but not on the pocket Just a 4th axis in my VMC would do it . but then you'd have chatter with the stick out . There's just no easy or cheap way

"Chatter with the stick out" are you talking about a bunch of old women at Chip n Dales?

Anyway, I think the only easy way to build tracks is to order an excavator kit from someone and assemble it.lol You guys are doing a fantastic job machining all those individual parts. I only wish that I had CNC so that I could share your misery!
