Is the ball valve a safety feature?

The pressure drop in that gargantuan BB chamber much be horrendous - but that doesn't detract from this being one of the most beautiful BBMGs ever built :)

I pressure tested the "Coffin" (chamber) with unregulated CO2.

The burst pressure of the push-to-conenct hose is 290 PSI.
I run it in the 120-160 psi range. It runs off of a 20lbs CO2 tank which is usually on a cart or in a crate.

Took a year to build 2006-2007 including both mounts - a M3 tripod and pedestal mount.

Holy triple post bat man!!!

Why would you use a CNC for a single vortex block, seams like your just showing off.

RJB,
Nice job on the vortex block.

If you have access to the machine(s), why not? Nothing wrong with using the tools at your disposal. I think we all prefer parts built with CNC as opposed to those parts built with a Meat Ax.
