Another day, another CdG plate. New carborundum bit will be used. New plates fasten without modification to my table:
After a few passes under the press:
Tis but a flesh wound:
Applying the faux screws and gear. Cleaning, forming and aligning these was a little more tedious than I thought it would be.
Final shot with dial:
Total elapsed time: 107 minutes.
Number of wounds: 1, on thumb
Quality rating: 7, I do not like the carborundum bit for CdG. I am switching to another material.
My first batch of these plates goes to my partner.
After that these will be sold sporadically on the Parts sale page: ETA probably another 2 weeks.
I am still investigating Rhodium plating for these, but do not hold your breath. It will raise the cost significantly.
