This video shows milling a Wedge 5DC stainless steel trumpet mouthpiece with a Tormach PCN 1100 CNC mill. The blank, which has no cup or rim, is first zeroed in the machine. The first cut is made with a 1/4 inch carbide 2 flute ballnose endmill, leaving 5/1000" of material on the workpiece. The finishing cut is with a 1/8" endmill with a step over of 2/1000". The mouthpiece is then finished by hand on the lathe and engraved on the 4th axis of the mill before it goes for final polishing.

Seeing the work it takes to make these compared to a standard conventional piece is impressive. I have 2 and love them.

Dr. Dave, you sir, are a class act. I've heard great things about your mouthpieces and decided to order one today. Silver Plated 3C with a 27 throat and a ml bore. I'm quite glad to have opened my wallet to a guy like you who makes all of his mouthpieces so personally like that than to another huge company that makes cheap decisions to turn as much extra profit as possible. I wish you and your buisness the best sir.
Cheers,
Matt
