Work on the feed continues. Yesterday I had a few minutes to cut the new septum. I had forgotten how soft and workable the aluminum is. The old Delta band saw must have had a fresh blade on it and made short work of the job. I cut everything just a little bit big and will bring it to tolerance with a file or hand held air driven belt sander. This way there are no overshoots.
And the workshops not to bad either! Candlelight Farms
Airport in Western Connecticut.
File and sandpaper bring aluminum to proper dimensions. Not an easy task without a proper vise.
Slow going with the tap. Just a few turns then back out to clean threads on tap. Such a small tap is easy to break when doing this by hand. Better to go slow then break off the tap in the work and have to dig it out or re drill both septum and square tube.
Dry fit.
Good illustration of how things go together so far.
