Quick update. I'm attempting to make 18 of these basic LEVO reservoirs. I need a name for them. Something cool. Help me out,...
Jul-29-2008
Making new jigs. I'm using a special print out I made on my machine to mark where the holes will be. I am hoping this will be more accurate then drawing it all out with a ruler.
Center punced and ready for drilling.
Done. Made five mroe of these disc's here. These are used to hold the end pieces for turn cutting.
I have 12 end piece discs now. I can make 6 reservoir at a time. The discs with the 45 degree holes are for another jig used to drill the mounting holes.
36 end pieces. 18 reservoirs. TribalOVERKILL needs a table saw. Seriously.
Dinner at the studio. Store bought
This was good!!!!
Stupid binding string,...
This is a replacement jig. I hope it works better than the last one. I think the last one was off a bit. I think. I'm replacing it mainly because once the holes in the jig are messed up the jig is no longer good. The new one,... the holes can be replaced. Plus theres a better alignment holes. A pilot hole.
I love turning cutting. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. TribalOVERKILL needs a Lathe. Seriously.
Once again,... this is how you know your were turn cutting properly. Efficiently.
Replaceable discs with spacers.
Alignment pilot hole and two peg holes. The spacer prevents you from drilling into the jig.
Works like this.
Finally, the outer rings. they are used to hole the piece still during drilling. The spacer turns. You do not want the piece to turn while drilling.
That is soo cool looking.
Had to use two rings because I did not have 1/4" aluminum.
Works perfectly.
Got all this done real quick. Wasn't a problem at all.
Trimmed the corners and mounted them to the chuck nut jig thingies.
Made some acrylic spacers.
Turned down to the outer diameter.
Turned down to the inner diameter.
What a mess. Next I haev to do the oring grooves. Pics of that later.
Till next time.
