The Offcial Machinist Thread: Revised 01/04/2014

[Technician1002]

To make mine easy to seat, I added a small mechanical stop on the small cannon so the piston could not be pushed too far forward. Closing the valve properly is as simple as pushing in the knob until it stops.

You don't have to hurry, tomorrow I have a party and i'll need the whole tuesday to recover from it

Hehe when you regain consciousness it should be done

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

here you go

A bit too fast with my PM, Looks very nice

Also a very nice polymer, I may take this up to 500 psi when I get a fridgy, And I definately want something strong

JSR, received the valve today, its awesome! fantastic craftmanship!

Eh, midweek drinking

Acetal is surprisingly tough stuff, I would definitely trust this at 500 psi. I suggest a 10mm washer to spread the load though.

Excellent, glad you like it looking forward to seeing it being put to good use

While it is at your place, Would it be a lot of work to put a slight bevel on the outer edges of the piston?

Sharp outer edges on plastic objects tend to get very ugly
Not necessary for the O-ring grooves BTW.

Eh, midweek drinking

Jealous?

JSR, this is just one of the parts i need machined, i still need 4 (or 5) parts machined, this is a long-scale projekt, i dont wanna rush with it

for just to get your attention, its going to be 8mm 3000psi PCP airgun

Well i don't want to clamp it in the chuck now and mark the surface, but I'll be careful

Jealous?

There was a time these days I just prefer machining!

i still need 4 (or 5) parts machined

And I like shineh blades

I don't care about some slight marks, I think you have proved to be a good machinist

There was a time these days I just prefer machining!

I still prefer girls over lathes

[jakethebeast]

but if you are really good, you lathe WHILE you are with girls

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I don't care about some slight marks, I think you have proved to be a good machinist

done without marking, thank you masking tape.

I still prefer girls over lathes

They will become tiresome, besides the machining and ladies aren't mutually exclusive. Make "erotic massagers" and you'll be beating them off with a stick

[Labtecpower]

Looking very good, JSR.

The price is almost too low

But the girls that are attracted in that way aren't completely what i'm searching for
I have found one that thinks my spudgun collection is "cute"

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Well if you want to pay more ;P

I'm still a novice at this, prices will go up as I get better so get 'em while they're hot

That did come out extremely nice, almost perfect. I wish you could make a 2 inch version!!
