Thank you for the drawing's Jon

I've been learning eMachineShop...Just downloaded the drawings...I'll put up a Jpeg with dimensions later today for everyone...as a visual plan for manual lathe folks...

At work I maybe able to export Jon's drawings from that application to other types of CAD files...DFX ect....I'll check

Ok. Hypno your numbers in post #106 look good but do they relate to the images from Jon? Maybe I can have my guy at least make up one to mate to a cap and go from there?

I don't have a lathe, so the prototype is only drilled.  The drawings in #106 are not accurate, you need to start with what I posted.

According to my young apprentice, the two ems images contain all the info he needs. Does the bottom portion of the colette need threads?

No, just the top, the Binder is retained with an external nut.  If he wants to bang out a couple of those to send me I can send him the tap.

Thanks Jon. Looks like we have everything we need here. I think the plan should be to make a pair in aluminum first and send them to you for stuffing. If they work I can outsource for brass and see what price comes back for 40 - 50 pieces. My inside guy can do it, but I can't see him doing 40+ pieces on a manual lathe. Maybe he'll bite.

I bet Jon's going to need one or two machined units to make sure the electronics fit and work properly.

Wow. Cool! :)
That price is very good. But it seems very low.

Two units in aluminum will do . . . they will go to Chuck for evaluation once stuffed.

There are two versions I posted though, you'll need to decide which you like better.  For the test units, the regular version (not narrow) requires less machine work.

The indicated price on eMachine Shop for 50 units in brass is about $6 per unit, although I don't trust that program or its pricing tool . . .

Yes, the regular version looks like the one to go with. The bottom of the tapered one looked like it might get thin were the angles get cut??? If things go smoothly we may just try both versions for the prototype stage.

does this emachine shop actually allow you to place orders through them?
if not i don't see how it could give you a price but you can't beat that price either

Once this all comes together, I can get a good deal on a batches of mounts. But would have to all be preordered in order ylto keep cost down.
