Lil bit of polish comes up a treat :D:D:D:D

Mini 15mm adapter for survival lasers stainless that parted itself off early, but made it still usable if someone wants it :)

Took my a while to get started but after a while i began to get confident in my machining ability's as im a electrician not a fitter/machinist.


Hope you like!

Fiddy.
 





Looks pretty good!

I've only ever used a wood lathe, I wonder how a wooden focus adapter would go down :rolleyes:
 
Nice Fiddy well done I know these take some time for sure. Dumb question Are these threaded The one pic looks to be pressed in? also, you sure did use alot of stock for the tapered 40mm ring seems like if you were to sell them would have to go for a good chunk just to make it worth youe time?
 
yeah they are all threaded in! used a bit of material on the 40mm tapered, it came out very very nice tho, easily worth the time and money :)
