Post by: EvilTessmacher on July 05, 2018, 03:26:20 AM
As in, active, working, has-a-lot-of-machine-tools machinists?

I have a part that I'd like to have made, and it's way beyond my ken.

I shaved the variator slides with a 1 / 2 " belt sander, it fits very well,   and by hook or crook it worked,  made a template of wHAT I wanted, a curve ,  so the variator was on and off over 20 times, that's what happens when you don't know what you are doing, but do it any ways,.

A pretty darn impressive one, with that alternative engineering...

My task isn't nearly that complex. All I need is an aluminium bar, about 1" in diameter, with one end slightly chamfered, and the other end made with a flat spot and a hole. I'd post a drawing, but I haven't had the time to make one.
