What a Night :(

Man what a rough night.................Picked up a rotary table and have been playing with it for around 6 hours

The body of this light started out as double the length with around 2+ hours invested into the machine work.

Popped it into the lathe needed to trim the end a bit and WHAM popped out of the chuck destroying 2-inches of the body..........

Ok cut off the damaged part.................re-threaded the internal threads.......pop it back into to finish the trimming and BAMO same thing


Choped another 2 inches off................................. Finally
What Kills me is the fact that I have done this 100 times and it has never happened ONCE. Now that I had 2+ hours invested it had to happen. Anyway here she is........a little shorter that I had anticipated.




And another flavor

Wow!! nice..... I like the silver one.....

The Successful failure in your case

I think your a bit too high on expectations
I LOVE THAT SILVER ONE:goodjob:, you cannot convince me that there are errors on that light [unless you told me already :laughing:]

Give yourself a good pat on the back, and means of mass production PM us!:naughty:

I'm using a 6" import Horizontal / Vertical rotary table. I turned down an expanding arbor (1.350") to hold the "D" size body's. I purchased it to speed up the Tri-Boring process and to play with it as seen above.

I WISH I had a CNC.....


Mac

Great work Mac, that Silver one is......... fantastic.:rock:

Cliff

NICE!

Another one to wish for.
