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.

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

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.

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?

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

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

I still prefer girls over lathes

done without marking, thank you masking tape.

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

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"

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
