A good sound re-work that Abraham - and the through bolts will keep it secure :thumbup: |

Hi Josha and Andrew, Thank you for the kind comments. For the base a template was printed to drill some mounting holes. It was mounted on some packing pieces and the outside milled square and to size. The cutout for the housing to sit in was gang drilled and removed. It was then milled to size. The top was milled away to form the four mounting pads. A step was milled around the outside edge. The corners of the step and at the bottom of the pads were filleted with a ball nose and round over end mills. Cheers Abraham |

Fabulous. I wish that I was this good. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. :bugeye: |

Hi Alan and steampunkpete, Thank you for the kind comments. The corners of the base were rounded with the various cutters using step off charts created in a spreadsheet. The tops of the pads were given a quick skim with a face mill. All the holes were located, drilled and tapped. I used a clamp on the one side as a reference so the part can be flipped. Four mounting holes were then drilled in the bottom of the base. The base with all the major machining done. And a few group shots. Then it was on to making studs. I used treaded bar for the 16 M3 ones and cut off screws for the 8 M2 ones. Only one picture of facing them to length. The four insulators were turned from PVC. Put the vice back on the mill and dialed it in. I did not have any square brass stock so a few slices were cut from some flat and milled square. The brush holder stand offs were then turned from these. Then flipped around and parted off and faced to correct length. The stand off parts so far. A couple of washers were also turned. More to follow. Cheers. Abraham |
