Maybe Dave can make them.Originally Posted by precisionworks
We have yet to find a shop that can deliver for the price we need. I can have one run but the cost is more than Dave charges for the SPY Tri-VHe has a CNC lathe, after all...
Tube with threaded tail
Tube with integral tail & McClickie or FETtie

Tri-V cost more than $2k each...so to make this run, your e-series light will officially be the most expensive e-series around!
ISO --> any vintage, cross-hair logo Surefire; Ku's SWM V-series 18500 tubes; PM me if you have a SPY007 XM-L2 SWGG for trade!

Yes it would if only one were runTri-V cost more than $2k each...so to make this run, your e-series light will officially be the most expensive e-series around!
The quote I received was:
$1095 for specialty tooling
$630 for body
$204 for head
----------------------
$1929 for one
Even with the cost of tooling subtracted out the light would be $834 ... a little less than PhotonFanatic & a little more than a McGizmo. Add in a light engine & it's pushing a grand

Barry, Im pretty sure I could get these made for you a lot cheaper than that. If you want to shoot me over the CADs I would be happy to get a quote for you. Just an option...

That sounds great to me Mike. I'll send them this evening after the shop work is done & I get to the PC.
EDIT: Got tied up last evening on a trit slot milling job ... just emailed the drawings

Wow. That is heavy.Tri-V cost more than $2k each...so to make this run, your e-series light will officially be the most expensive e-series around!

It was an amazing light, a technological tour-de-force, but impractical for daily use.

sorry to bump an old thread, but I was out exploring the depths of CFP, and wondered what ever happened with this project?
Re: The ROTOR® - E-series compatible 18650 body
Bronze & Ti for me (dropping the Al).
Preference for integral tail on bronze
Preference for no tail on Ti
Reread whole thread.
I deal with a number of CNC shops & even though each shop is different there's one common element - if an order will gross the shop $5,000 USD or more they may be interested (depending on their available machine time, production forecast, etc.) As the total dollar amount goes down so does the incentive to get involved. I presented the concept drawings to a number of shops & did get one to quote ... the body only (no head, no tail, just the two piece body) would sell for $630
