Volt meter project
exvalvesetdabbler:
Sliced my finger just tidying up the stuff on a couple of occasions and yes tools need to be razor sharp and have a steep angle to get under the work hardening of the previous cut.
431T is even worse to machine on a small lathe.

Test fitting before final coat of paint. Dome nuts are on some threaded rod with red locktite so they are 'dome screws'. Easier to swap out for other screw types if I have a change of mind.

That's a nice bit of work there!

Time to fit the contrast filter to the housing.
First figure out to cut a disc of perspex to the right size.

It was easy enough to saw a piece near to circular as possible an compress it between a flat piece in the chuck and a flat adapter piece in the live center in the tail stock. Just needed to take light cuts on a slow speed.
Then glue the filter into the housing with epoxy adhesive.
Once pressed in it was necessary to clean off any excess with alcohol followed by a brush and neat washing up liquid before it cured.
