Piper<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>machining</span></a> decided rust is actually bad and went through with blueing this. seeing how well it worked makes me want to do everything I own.</p>
Quixoticgeek<p>Today in the metal machine shop I was using a little used alloy called B E E C H... It's kinda similar to the O A K family of alloys... </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/WoodWorking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WoodWorking</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>To test that everything works before I commit to wood. I printed up a test jig. It needed a little refinement to open up the bores (3d printing is not perfect for dimensions, esp of circles). But then. I could test fit everything.</p><p>And it works.</p><p>It works better than I ever dreamed it would. The bar in the image slides easily, but with just a quarter turn of the bolt. It locks on place. A quarter turn is all it takes. From free moving to locked. Now I need to buy the wood.</p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>
Quixoticgeek<p>And that's all the metal machining for this project done. It works! It bloody well works!!!</p><p>Amazingly the jig I made to help manufacturer worked brilliantly. I'm so pleased. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a></p>

Quixoticgeek<p>After I finished work on my primary project yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of time left until the 3d print finished. So I decided to have a play with my new self made sensitive drilling attachment. </p><p>Aim was to drill a 0.5mm hole in some brass. </p><p>I achieved that with minimal breakage. I've just had a chance to test the hole with gauge pins. </p><p>500µm pin fits.<br>600µm doesn't git. </p><p>I'm considering that a big win. </p><p><a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Making</span></a></p>

Devlin Leathercraft<p>Here is my latest machining project. In the upper left corner it shows a letter holder with handle attached. This four inch, single line letter holder is what my letter sets come with. I made two six inch letter holders so I can stamp book bindings and I made dual line letter holders so I can stamp multiple lines at the same time. The letter slots are tricky because of the small size and tight tolerance. My instructors loved I was making this for practical use. <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Machining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Machining</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LeatherCraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeatherCraft</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/CAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CAD</span></a></p>
