Milling 5/16 slots in 0.013 wall brass 21/32 tubing
For experiments with bicycle lighting, I have in hand six engineering sample
tubes, four of which are linear aperture in yellow. If I can get a clear aperture tube, I intend to mask it with a brass sleeve, then add a lens. I have a 5/16 steel die sinking mill. I was thinking of filling the tube with plaster for support but will this wear my cutter, and will I be able to remove the plaster after milling? We have available a self-cleaning oven, chisels, and can get muriatic acid. Oh, what am I saying? I should melt in some machinable wax, shouldn't I? Ever hear of a quantum splitting phosphor? Two photons for the price of one.... I tolerance everything and tolerate everyone. I love: Dona, Jeff, Kim, Kimmie, Mom, Neelix, Tasha, and Teri, alphabetically. I drive: A double-step Thunderbolt with 657% range. I fight terrorism by: Using less gasoline. |
