Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

Payment received - thanks!

To me it looks OK and practical, but not a pretty finish. It is as practical for inside boring as I can do with my setup. To get an even better finish I will start looking into a bigger diameter boring bar, that would be even stiffer than this 0.5" bar that I am using today. There is always room for improvement 😉

Red 2D bored host received in good shape. Quite a sturdy box (Starrett).

Thanks!
 
Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

First an apology for taking so long with this 5-th wave. I was in Canada on business travel this week, and on Friday I took a road trip south of Dallas to pick a "toy". I had to re-arrange the "shop" a little, and that also took time from working on the 1xD's:

But I am back in town, so I am back making progress on these 1xD's :twothumbs

to the 5 and 9/16" (141.2mm) size work with a 18650 bat or a 3AA>D holder? if so could you shorten the black one from nail benders down to that size? that is the mag he is making me.

For the tubes cut to 5 and 9/16", you have to ask 3rdrock how he uses them - I just cut them like he wanted 😉

The 160mm is the most versatile length as you can use everything: 1D, 4xAA, 4x14670 (with the spring deep in the tailcap), 3xAA, 18650 (with spring deeper in tailcap), etc..

For nailbender's order, all tubes are already cut for the 160mm, so for a future order I can make you a shorter 1xD if you let me know exactly what you want to use it for 😉

Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

Thanks Will they look great.

If you have time or if you have one made up I would like one of your 18650 holders. If you would be so kind as to make it up to fit in an unbored host that way it can actually be used in either.

If you have to change tooling around to do it I can get it on the next run I need to PM you on another small item we talked about before Christmas and your new machine which is not critical.

Thanks

I have AW "C" cells in mine.I dont know the size of his "C" cell replacement will be,I hope they fit.
I am in Clearwater for 3 days,when I get back home,I'll check to see if the AW 18650's will fit in them.
 
Re: Custom Mag-1xD for sale - order placed!

Actually, I made a host from cardboard to test the different sizes, and if the 160mm is just the host size not including head than the 160mm fits nicely in my hand X3
