Introducing The Deflator

[BlueDragonX]

Yeah, I'm down for pictures of the rest of the process. I'm a sucker for machine shop pron.

(Step #3) Finished up the slug bodies after a long day yesterday.

Finished bodies, a stack fatties and the slimmer Deflator bodies.


Stack of slims


Machine setup, kind of a bummer I couldn't get another vise for a 4th set up.


First 4 of the run, one cycle top and bottom


Setting up for the Carrier run today. No rest for the wicked. :)

A few were asking about some info to help get an anodizing bid, this might help.

Update:

Carriers are finished, de-burred, washed and laid out to dry (Which takes about 15 seconds in the Arizona heat. lol).

Detents are next.

Looks awesome! I love seeing how the machining process is coming along. Keep up the good work Luke!

Love the pics! Thanks Luke.

I cut two more (prototype) spring cups this morning so I could dial in the design, now were ready to go with production.

I made this fixture to manufacture the spring cups, this is the kind of stuff that eats up time on projects behind the scenes.

I know right, that logo has to take some time. :P

The logos actually serve a purpose.

Breach and barrel cut away, kinda cool but hard to see any detail in the pictures.
