I can see why they are tough to machine. I found the trick is to use your 4 jaw chuck and weld tabs to the pod heads for the chuck to grab. Then grind the tabs off after your done.</DIV><DIV dir="ltr">Hank</DIV> <DIV><BR><BR></DIV><DIV style="display: block;"> <DIV style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <DIV style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2"> On Saturday, April 8, 2017 12:48 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<BR></FONT></DIV> <BR><BR> <DIV><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>Hi Everybody,</DIV><DIV> I finished my Port side motor pod. Did a pressure test up to 10psi , still waiting on the silicone oil . But it ran really smooth, had a bit of trouble when I machined the end caps, they weren't totally perfect, think I'll have the machine shop make a stab at it . There were difficult to line up in my lathe and they were literally at the very maximum size my lathe could do. But all my snap rings and o rings and epoxy thru hulls are good to go !</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Pics:</DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________
