If looking for a really close fit, lapping the two surfaces together with a non-embedding compound such as "time-saver" would be an option. With lapping, the contact areas will be very visible in the surface finish. The existing surfaces have to be close for this.<br><br>I like your facing rig. It is very much like portable align boring equipment I have used.<br><br>I'm sorry, I haven't been following along more closely. Is there anything other than the taper to index the location of the mating halves, such as a counterbore?<br><br>Beautiful work! <br>Cheers,<br>Tom<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"via Personal_Submersibles" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br><b>To: </b>"Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, January 11, 2016 9:28:10 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: flang facing<br><br><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>Hank,</div>

<div>I had two recommendations. One is articulating paper (like what you use at the dentist to check contacts of teeth). It is inexpensive and transfers where ever there is a contact.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The other idea is engineers marking blue. It is a paste that you paint on ever so thinly and it transfers wherever there is contact. It is also fairly inexpensive.</div>

I have lowered the hatch onto the conical seat and it fits nice or at least as far as I can tell. I am alone in this mission so I can not get inside the sphere and place the hatch on the land by myself to determine if the fit is correct from inside. How can I determine if the two angles are fitting perfect? without being inside. I was thinking about plasti gauge for engine rebuilding, it is a little plastic wire that squeezes to a certain thickness for a given gap. </span></div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1452470102720_2743" dir="ltr">I still have to take the hatch OD down about .050 in so I have wiggle room to adjust the angle if need be.</div>
