CCQ Furnace Creation
General directions for all furnaces can be located here. Use these directions when instructed below.
- Make a sharp 90-degree bend in the leads 1/16 inch above the back surface, so the leads point away from the center of the furnace.
- Make a second bend so the leads run along the cylinder about 1/16 inch above the surface.
- Clip the leads to length (use furnace lead sizer, TL-FLS), insulate with fish-spine beads, and terminate each lead with a Molex male pin.
- CCQ: clip leads approximately 57 mm from bend; 12 beads per lead.
- Refer to steps 2 and 3 in CFF preparation
- CCQ furnaces only:
- Clear the center hole of the furnace by running a 1/2 threaded rod through the hole.
- Refer to step 6 through 10 in CFF preparation
- CCQ: About 4 grams of potting cement
- If the furnace does not allow the inlet port furnace aligner tool (TL-IP-FA) to freely pass in and out of the furnace, use a diamond coring tool to clear the hole. Use the mill or your fingers to spin the bit and gently remove the material causing the bind. The furnace aligner should freely pass through the hole unassisted.
