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.
