switches?

[Nobody]

the switch to go from Electro to mechanical, i do believe. i for one will need one, so this comes as news to me that there will be new ones made.

oh ok,
yeah I could use one or more I think.

[goin5150]

I need 3...

[luke]

Just posting here to see if you guys want to add input into the design(??)

[knownothingmags]

the stock type just aluminum

[Justus]

And here I was all excited thinking that you engineered a battery cut-off switch for Emags a'la the Xmag switches. Ditching the yellow cut-off pin. I am now disappoint.

But yeah, not much thought about the selector switch. I got one of yours that's more rounded than the stock switch - whatever batch that was. Either way, as long as it works, no biggie. The biggest draw is that it's aluminum and can be ano-matched to the rest of the gun.

[Frizzle Fry]

:clap:

[Nobody]

yeah, i think you are over thinking it. KISS, its only a switch.

[wetwrks]

I personally liked the flat one with the 2 or 3 holes in it as opposed to the more rounded one with no holes in it. I would go for a few of them if you did something similar.

I remember those, I did those probably 8 years ago, people still ask about them. I could do something similar...

People seem to try and snatch them up from sale threads so it looks like that design (or a similar design) would have some demand. :)

[luke]

Interesting, I didn't know that.

I think I remember the design, but are there any pictures anywhere with one in it?

The third picture down has a nice close up

[knownothingmags]

yeah I have one of those. I like it.

[luke]

Yea, lets do those, I'm pretty sure I have materials that will work.

Sweet, I will take one for my photo finder fee ... :stick:

:rofl:

[mpsd]

Luke,

How much do you sell for? I might be interested in one, if still in-stock (I'll be in Texas in a couple weeks).

Thanks!

[luke]

In the range of my other ones.

[Bunny]

I'm down for a couple as well.

[luke]

Cool, I'm working on a production strategy right now, gonna try and have them done in a few days.

[splat15k]

Terrible timing. I'd much rather have either one of those over the one that will be arriving in a couple of days.

[luke]

Sorry about that but I only re-up my inventory when old stock is gone. I'll send you a PM and work it out. :)

depending on what you have, i might do a trade with you. i would like to replace mine, but its not like those are "to die" for parts.

Thank you, sir! :cheers:

[wetwrks]

Here's what I came up with, I think I will do both>

I will take a few of these :)

[Mole1119]

I like the looks of that last one, I am currious how the two holes and the side chamfer will turn out when it is actually produced.

[maverick13]

Regarding to the pictures of post #24, I prefer the 2nd design, and the 1st just after.

[Mole1119]

picky, picky, picky! Is this OK? :)

:D Yes I like that a lot, sorry the engineer in me comes out, I am just jealous that I don't have CAD to play with, or any cool machines

[luke]

It's all good, I did see it but let it go because most of the time I would fine tune that at the time of production. :cool:

Would love to see these available again

[luke]

Okay, THIS should be the final design, lol.

Design One

[luke]

I think I have finalized the 3 designs. I had hoped to have these done Monday or Tuesday but I had to order tooling so we are looking at next weekend to finish up.

[PyroFiend]

I like option 3.
Speaking of switches, my emag switch is getting finicky. Any advice on replacing it? I've never dug that far into the gun.
If you need a set of lowers to experiment with, I got one laying in a box you could borrow (so you don't have to take yours apart)

the set screw in the assembly is funny some times, it is in there almost to the point you strip it trying to get it out or it kinda floats.
but I doubt that is your problem, just be patient if you try to remove screws from it. and such.

[PyroFiend]

Thanks for the heads up!

[Xmagterror]

I was always thinking about making these...just too many projects. glad to you see you are going to make it happen! would be a good idea to clearance the bottom of them so the lever does not rub on the frame....I think it would wear the anodizing on the frame.

[luke]

Been selling switches for about 10 years but always made them on my knee mill, these will be the first cnc made though. (Joy) ;)
Adding a little clearance wouldn't be a problem, thanks for the heads up.

YEAH,
I have noticed that all the previous switches have rubbed. never thought anything of it. lol just threw the switches out and put the stock ones on.

[luke]

Yea, I never noticed it either. I just installed a stock one and it rubs too, with it being plastic it may not have wore the anno down. I will just add a small clearance pass on the bottom. It will still rub under the screw area but it will be a circle that can't be seen..

[Nobody]

nice to have a piece of sacrificial material.

[havinnoj]

I like #2 & #3.. any idea on price for these?

[luke]

Not supposed to quote prices in this forum but they will be right around the same price as the one on my website.

Thanks Luke. Count me in for a couple.

[luke]

Looks like tooling is on back order for at least a week...

[havinnoj]

To make sure I don't miss these when they're ready, when do you think you can take orders?

[luke]

Can't say for sure with tooling on back order, that's the only thing holding up production.

These will be kept in stock though.

[luke]

Tooling is still on back order. :cuss:

[luke]

OK, so I got the programs dialed in, need to setup my programs for repeats and the mill for final production and I'll button up this little project. :)

Looking good!!

[knownothingmags]

did you do the offset alittle so they don't rub as much?
just wondering.
I diffidently need some,
will these be stocked?

[Swiss Cheeze]

Very nice Luke. Look forward to picking some up.

[Bunny]

Looks great. Can't wait to order a few :-)

[luke]

It was addressed but differently than what was previously mentioned. I actually redesigned them with the offset, had it programmed ready for production and changed my mind on the direction of the fix. I believe that idea would actually act like a drill bit and end up galling the area under the screw. That is because it would have had two little tiny surfaces to constantly dig into your frame. I guess it would be hidden under the lever, but I think it would cause much more damage.

What I did was redesign the slot. It does not run the full length to the lever anymore, it is only as long as needed to fit the assembly. The idea is, the single larger surface area will cause less damage over time. It's not really something you would consider unless you see the CAD's.

I think this was the best solution after studying the models . ;)

Yes, these are a stock item.

Cool, these are done and ready to go.

:cheers:

[Swiss Cheeze]

I will take 2 of each.

awesome on both,
I understood the first part perfectly.
you know me it takes a lot for me to understand things. lol

[Mole1119]

Id like to pick up 1 design one, Pming

[luke]

Invoice sent, thanks.
