fritz15 - Machine Made - Last UPDATE 10/31

Since the body had the right diameter I could prepare cutting the threads for the tailcap:

With a parting tool I made the indents for the O-rings:

Using an indexable threading tool I cut the threads on the body:

You get nice little shavings:

After the threading was done I added chamfers to every sharp edge:

Even to the one I can’t reach with the normal tool:

Having done that it’s time for a test fitting:

It fits very nicely and here it also pays off that I have been that precise - you can’t see the transition between tailcap and body:

I parted off the tailcap with a little excess material (it is easier to take material away than to add to it), so I measured the length of the tailcap and need to take 0.05 mm of material away:

Now it’s time to finish off the tailcap and adding some chamfers:

The tailcap is done:

I continued by shaping the body:

Since I changed the angle of the cross slide several times I needed to measure again:

And the body is shaped on the outside:

Looks already very flashlight like:

That’s it for now, thanks for reading and more later.
