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
