weirdoku Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) so thats the graphics on the machine with most of it programmed. Just gotta find some steal then i shall be good to go.Not sure if you corrected the holes in your post above but the cross section should look like this, the holes go all the way through. The total height is 17mm but looks like you added an extra 2mm so it appears the holes doesn't go all the way through? 2mm of the total height is the thickness of the lip.5mm diameter holes on the lip side that goes down 7mm and 2mm diameter holes on the non lip side that goes down 10mm.Sorry for the confusion!

greg1040 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Haha its the way my graphics work i tell it a rough piece of material thats why the stocks bigger than the finished piece. And from a top view when showing you the 5mm holes into the 2mm i cant get the machine to show a smaller diameter under a bigger top 1. The way i will be machining it is, grip in a vice machine it upside down turn it round gripping on the 20mm side then flash across face then put in the through holes. Was just a rough graphics i was trying to show Edited November 5, 2014 by greg1040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 As long as it looks like this it's all good! By the way what sort of finish does your machines/tools end up with? Quite smooth?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFYHo0mYcvQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Would steel effect the performance of the part? Would it need to handle vibrations in a certain way. I am probbably barking the wrong tree thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's gonna be a ferrule block for a guitar. The block will be fit snug into a cavity on the guitar body, the strings tension will pull the block inwards to the body which will stop it from falling out. Plus it's all one piece so nothing to vibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The finish should be super smooth it will be flicked across both faces with a facemill then the sides will be cut twice with a carbide endmill. Im used to working with 0.001 tollerances and 32ra seal bores so finish and sizes and concentricity will be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 For a one off drill jig it's hardly worth the effort of heat treatment For a one off drill jig it's hardly worth the effort of heat treatment id just flame harden it, by hand only takes a few mins, then temper it.

bing Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 That's brilliant. I've made a few bits for various people, glad to see its not just me who does stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've made headset adaptors for a cannondale road frame, some press in cups to allow shimano bb bearing/cranks in an NS majesty frame, with has a Spanish or mid bb. Made Dan cox a rear axle, which he snapped within two days. Made Tom Whittaker some new spacers for his echo 135 rear hub. Made myself a 10mm bolt in axle for a hope bulb hub. When I was an apprentice I made a 50mm DH stem for my Saracen hardtail. Loads of stuff. It's ace making things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Did I snap that rear axle?! I remember snapping an axle but why did I replace it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 You snapped the original, I made you a new one, you snapped that and your old man got a steel one made so you can't snap that. It was on your old neon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ahh this is making more sense mate. I can just remember snapping one axle. Not two. It obviously happened but I can't remember where lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
