Sent you another PM because I didn't receive an answer to the first one, tried to include the pic again, it seems to work and I saw that it didn't work in the previous message indeed. maybe the attachments in the PM only last a day, don't know...
thanks :thumbsup

Re: Tomenosuke & Sidkit style Blade Runner Blaster Steel/Stainless Steel/Aluminum bar
yea, this time I saw the attachment. I see what you mean. I'll get another one out to you.
--edit-- just as a what if... I made the threads fairly loose, as I wanted to allow for 'some' wiggle room. If you loosen the screws and position it, is the result the same?

Hi Everyone,
There seems to be an issue with some of the barrels. If your barrel has fitment issues, please send me a PM and I'll take care of it.
Time for a little update to the adventure that was the previous run...
At the start, the slot was cut. Most times, it all goes off without a hitch, but sometimes you do things that make you feel like a total noob. As in the next pictures, I had set up the disc again after setting up again after work and decided to take some pictures. I set everything up and snapped a couple of shots.
the mill that's been converted to CNC and the dividing head.
It's not clamped in the jaws yet as I went further in and didn't have that much overhang for the actual cutting, but that's not the issue. I had forgotten to tighten the bolt holding the disc to the attachment. So when I started the cutting cycle, the disc snagged and was junked. It broke a couple of teeth but also ruined the barrel. I couldn't believe I had just done that. :facepalm
With the drilling, I would use a key-less chuck to hold the bits. This is a great way to quick-change between small drill bits on the mill. Everything was going fine, then I noticed a wiggle in the bits and the whole thing becoming sluggish with the tighten/loosen...
Then on one change of bits, I hear and feel, some snap, crackles and a pop. The drill falls out and so does a piece of the jaw.
I don't tighten with enough strength to crack a jaw, let alone crack all of them. Yes, all of them are cracked. Something tells me someone dropped this from a considerable height and it smacked the concrete flat. Either way, this messed up a barrel when the drill snagged.
Finally we come to something I felt coming in my bones. I knew the very last barrel would be scrapped. Didn't know how, but knew it was going down. Turns out I was right. On the very last stage of lathe work, I ream out the hole to give it a nice finish. While in the last 1/2" of the reaming, the reamer snags inside the bore and it starts to spin the part in the chuck. I stop the lathe and instead of backing out the reamer, I start it again and hear a snap.:facepalm
I'm going to try to cut off the broken end, regrind the front of the fins and see if I can still use it while I wait for a new one to arrive.
So that's what's gone on just in the production side of things... the life side of things were just as mangled. Fun times.

What's the potential fitment issue? I've passed mine on to someone else so I'd like to give them some info so they can check it.

The screw holes may be a little off causing the fitment issue. Even though you've passed it along to someone else, if they have an issue, no worries, I'll take care of it.

Thanks... The hot metal is the least of the worries... luckily the disc didn't break apart and only a couple of teeth came off it instead.
It's just a pain to have to now change out the collet along with the drills for every change. Once the shop opens for business sometime in September, I'm going to have to replace the broken chuck.

Hey Ted, really sorry to hear of all those issues. Like userD said, luckily you didn't get hurt, the disk flying away is a tiny bit scary...
Thanks again for fixing the issue, really appreciate your work and your keep cool attitude.
cheers :thumbsup

Barrel arrived, thankyou Ted. Stripping down my 2049 in an attempt to get the barrel fitted,
