Instructions

  1. Cut the bar
    Start by cutting a SS304 bar (3/16" x 1/2") to the length specified in the model
    Use a bandsaw to ensure the bar is ground to the correct length
    The final lenght should be within 10 thousandths of the specified length in the model
  2. Drill holes
    Position the bar in the mill and drill a 0.169" hole .500" away from the edge of the bar
    Note that the holes are 25 thousandths larger than the 6-32 screw that will pass through them
  3. Chamfer the holes
    Use a carbide chamber bit to carefully chamfer the holes on both sides of the bar
    This step is to remove any burrs around the holes. Handle the carbide bit with care, as it is brittle and can break easily
  4. Remove burrs
    Inspect the ends of the bar for any remaining burrs
    If burrs are present, use a grinding wheel to remove them and ensure a smooth finish.
