Something New
January 25, 2006
Here is
something that may interest you, if you've been thinking of making one
of those little co-axial indicators shown at pages 83-91 in TMBR#3.
One of my customers has offered to
make a run of the rockers (see page
87)
for this project for me on a CNC wire EDM machine. They will be made
from O-1 ground flat stock. They come
with the two holes drilled. They will be
unhardened.
The surface looks a little rough in the
above pictures, but that is more a
lighting effect than a rough surface. A brief rub on 400 grit
paper would have this part looking and feeling very nice. You'll need
to go over the edges with a fine abrasive stone to ease
the sharp edges, and you might want to harden the part, but I don't
think that's necessary, because it doesn't see a lot of wear.
If you think you might want to make one of these handy co-axial
indicators, now or later, I would suggest you contact me now,
because if there is no demand, they won't be available later.
Price will be $20 plus $3 postage.
Just
e-mail me from my home page, to
let me know you want one, and I will contact
you when they're ready.
Do not send any money at this
time.
