I use a high spindle speed with shallow cuts and rigid setup so keep the working length to a minimum and also your tool only protruding as little as possible (sounds dodgy I know ) from the tool holder. And a little cutting oil. And finally a little autosol to polish.zaugger said:Hey LikeitBright Did you sand/polish that copper heat sink when you took it off the lathe? Whenever i work with copper theirs always a small amount of chattering i cant seem to stop
Yup, in order to met the length specs I had to thread it all the way through. Those glass lenses are signifantly longer than the plastic acrylic ones. Thanks for the comments , it was a lot of work making these.jayrob said:Dang dude... Those are SCHWEET!
It looks like you machined the threaded focus ring on the red... Is that because it is the longer AixiZ glass lens?

If you have all those components it would be simpler to install a driver yourself unless you need machining? Keep in mind I'm in NZ.Th0ughts said:What if we sent you the host, heatsink, diode, and aixiz? How much would it cost for shipping+labor and the driver?
