Clutch Alignment Tool to Laser?

[Mrcrouse]

Speedy78 sent us a clutch allignment tool with the request that we clone it as best we can except make it a laser host. Here is the result:



Colors are a bit off because of variance in the metals... but otherwise, beautiful:

More pictures to come once it is done getting clear anodized.

Interesting concept looks pretty good

 

[Speedy78]

Damn!!!!! Its perfect!! Cant wait to see the rest of these pictures!! Looks like you were able to copy the splines pretty well. I will rep once I get on my pc. Pass your dad words of satisfaction from me!

Great job Mr. Crouse! Great idea Speedy! I'm around tools all day and have had similar thoughts :beer:

That is sexyyyy

 

[Mrcrouse]

Indeed! I can't wait to see the finished pics! It is getting a polish and then clear anodization to protect the polish.

 

[IsaacT]

That is very cool....I may need to do some thinking and hit you up for a custom design.

That is pretty cool. It makes me think about what other "schtuff" could be turned into a unique host.

Nifty!

After getting into lasers every time I saw this I thought "This needs to be a laser" After seeing the final result it makes me want to walk out into the garage and cloning all my tools into laser hosts.

We love tools, and we love machining laser parts. Nothing makes a more fun and rewarding project.

Is it getting an anodizing bath tonight? I'm excited to see more of this.

 

[Mrcrouse]

Probably not until tomorrow. We are changing over our chemicals.

 

[Speedy78]

Roger that. I'm curious to see the switch in the back. Is it similar to your other custom hosts you just finished?

 

[Mrcrouse]

Probably a similar design. The host uses the same diameter tube we use on our custom hosts.

 

[Speedy78]

Cool. Do whatever you think looks the best!

Got the beauty in the mail today!





Excelent job on the clicky stitch design in the tail with the metal button.




Its perfect. But then again is was Mrcouse and his father who made it. So I wouldn't expect anything less.
