Title: BlowFish blank machined
Post by: pep on January 23, 2022, 01:26:26 PM

Last two holes were drilled for tap size #3, 1/4 28. Is undersized for the bolt to pass thru the top half when cut.

Other than cutting, shaping, and opening the bolt pass-thru holes . It's well on it way to being a viable part.

Needs 2 locater pins and it will be done.  Holes are 1/2, going next size up  & turn for an interference fit. Hot and cold part assembly.

Turned the pins cut and set next tight tolerances. Will use one part in the freezer, the other boiling water, and assemble.
