    Rebel LED (3D version) Under/Overdrive

    Because you weren't there last night to ask me then :ohgeez:. 2x18650 was an easy attempt given my setup. Too late to try it now. Maybe next time....or another member can give it a go.

    Rebel LED (3D version) Under/Overdrive

    I bought a new version MAG 3D with Rebel reflector and emmitter for my SST-50 Mod. After removing the switch assy which I won't be using in my build, I considered where I could put to use. I used an old 2d host and fitted it with the new 3D LED assy. I used the old style reflector. you...

    Indexable carbide boring bar advice?

    IMHO Here is my 2 cents on boring tooling. At work we use kenametal, seco, and sanvik inserts. We also use tooling from each co. Here is my opinnion. Sanvik - Excellant tooling with high price tags. Their anti vib boring bars can not be beat. If you need to go deep - they are the best. But it...

    how do you machine a partial hole in the inside of a ring?

    I know you don't want to drill thru, but here is a simple idea for function. Drill thru with a smaller diameter then detent ball. This will allow the ball to partially enter hole without passing thru. I will keep thinking about your original request. Second idea would be to drill thru from...

    MAG D SSR-50 Build Log

    Well it seems like a concensus toward the rebel reflector. This leads toward a design challenge for the heat sink. The reflector needs space on top and the h6flex driver will need space on the bottom. I need to see how much will be left for the actual sink. I have also been considering...

    MAG D SSR-50 Build Log

    SSR-50 VS 90 Given the cost of over all build 50 vs 90 is not that much of a diverence. What is the advatage of under driving a 90 vs full drive on 50? For daily use I will normally be under driving the 50. As to heat sink, I have access to free alum drop at work. I was considering some...

    What to do with 2x26650 and C mag host

    I hate being indecisive. If I need to boost amperage, why not just go with 2x26650 and get the added runtime to boot. I would like to be able to run the ssr-50 to full spec to show other the potential of modding, but I don't see myself walking around on full power. Low should be very usable...

    What to do with 2x26650 and C mag host

    I was looking at the H6CC size (1.2" dia, not the d2flex .8" dia). My Mistake. Any comments on XPG vs XRE? Where should I buy the emmiters? Thanks.

    What to do with 2x26650 and C mag host

    Still reading the forums and debating. I want a platform that I can experiment with Reflectors and aspherics lens (or collimator plus ashperic). Surplus shed is located 20 minutes from where I live (easy to kill lots of time). This leads me toward XRE or XPG. So I am leaning toward XPG being...
