Trit slot machining is no longer offered. The following info is for reference purposes only:
Tritium slot machining:
Prices are shown for aluminum slots. Titanium or stainless slots are priced on request - please email with the details of what you have in mind.
The most popular size is 1.5x5mm. Both B@rt & Merkava offer trits on The MarketPlace section of CPF & some eBay sellers also offer them. I cannot provide tritium vials.
Some lights have enough thickness to accept a 2x6mm vial. These are impressively large compared to the 1.5x5mm.
1.5x5mm slots are $12 each
2x6mm slots are $22 each
2x8mm slots are $26 each
2x12mm slots are $30 each
2x24mm slots are $36 each

I no longer offer installation of your trit vials. Info below is for reference only:
Installing your trits using Norland Optical Adhesive:
1.5x5mm trits - $18 each
2x6mm trits - $22 each
2x8mm trits - $26 each
2x12mm trits - $30 each
2x24mm trits - $36 each
The reason that installation prices are greater than slot milling costs is that Norland optical adhesive (NOA-61) is really picky to work with. Getting the material to lay in & correctly fill the slot is a challenge. I encourage members to try their hand at trit installation since that saves money & can be very satisfying to the owner of the light.
