Not specifically. "Billet" is the bar stock of metal. You could use the billet in a forging die setup (cold forged, hot forged or near-net forged would be three common options), or machine it using a CNC machine. The White cranks are referred to as "machined from billet" which would suggest the latter. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
