Using Fimo to make vacuum adapter?
Hi,
I'm planning to make up an adapter to connect a vacuum cleaner to my Trend router table. I have a plastic bottle with the base cut off which goes over the circular port at the back of the fence. The vacuum nozzle needs to be held and to seal in the over-wide neck of the bottle. I'm thinking of using Fimo, the bakeable polymer modelling clay to make an object that replaces the screw-top of the bottle. This would be something much more substantial that the nozzle can be held securely in. Has anyone ever used Fimo or any similar mouldable material to construct detailed (coarse threaded) parts for jigs and fixtures? I would prefer to use something a bit more businesslike than Fimo if such material exists and someone would be kind enough to tell me what it is. -- Richard |
