L T P;s new builds light bar complete @141

Were you planning on using an e-switch? The tail switch is now the main switch or lock-out function?

tail clicky only,was going to be in the head but would have made the light longer

Nice work LTP!!

Nice progress :beer:

A little more progress today

Internal thread completed

Took a little to make it fit ,but happy now.

So that knurled part is 80mm in diameter?

had a few minutes ,thought I would add fins

they start at 3mm deep and finish at 10mm depth
3mm spacing , should keep it cool for the first 5 minutes,

try and do a bit more tomorrow

knurled handle 70 mm dia.head 85

Are those threads square or trapezoid? How did you cut them?

Is that a phone picture?

yes square thread pp ground my own tool slow and steady

next bit is a little boring

ended up with this

spun it around just want to shape the head a little,not sure how yet,
next week,.

and yes mrs dnf all pics are from the s5 as it is easy to upload with the app,

Do you have a mill?

I have this Chinese mill drill

The threads look real good LTP.

I was happy enough for my first attempt
V threads are better.

Realized I needed a bezel

skimmed bit of flat

turned it to suit

trimmed the back of the head a little

its a sizable thing

now to get time to finish and source some orings

Nice re-purpose of a cylinder shaft LTP. :+1:
