How To Machine L Shaped Brass Fitting?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Lew_Merrick_PE:
Snub -- Would it make sense to make the block a bit larger abd then set the nipples as NPT-connected inserts?

snub:

: Lew_Merrick_PE.......I'm thinking that is also an easier solution. I've already started with Pekkas idea, but it is taking forever. Almost done, though! Thrilling pictures up soon.

Got 'er done!

Not wanting to try fashioning something with a saw, came up with this idea.
Started with a piece of round bar and turned it to make some 'stubs'.
Into the 4 jaw to make another.
Took it to the mill to shave off some excess material ( should have done this before step 2 ).
Back to the 3 jaw to make the last stub.
Made some threads and the 37 degree taper for one side.
Back to the mill to make the concave part of the fitting.
The finished product.

PekkaNF:
Pretty damn nifty! Using round stock to avoid sawing it (and then milling square etc.) was pretty brilliant.

Did you use a die to thread all the way to the body?

Nicely done Snub  :clap:
