After shaping the outside of the tailcap I started with the inside:
Again, measuring, this time the inside:
Everything is ready for threading the tailcap:
Here I used a tool holder with a Carbid cutting plate:
So, the tailcap is nearly done and ready to be parted off. I just added a chamfer to the inside of the tailcap as well as to the threads. Always add chamfers to everything There will be no sharp edges and it feel and look very smooth and well made:
And the tailcap is parted off:
A picture of the inside (you see a chamfer at every edge):
After the exhausting process of making the tailcap my manager and engineer made some lovely lasagna for dinner :
And after that I was strengthened enough to start on the body:
More measuring, but the diameter was still a little too big:
So I turned it down until the diameter was right, and I then measured again, just to be sure:
Thatโs it for today, thanks for reading and more tomorrow!
