Hi Rob, This is not the Baffold, but the Collimation Tube.

It only extends about 3 inches in front of the mirror, the rest lays behind the mirror front surface...

I'll try to get a drawing cross section up perhaps tomorrow afternoon is I'm not wanting to machine after having the teeth worked on...

Regards,

Preston

ps... nice use of the mill base

Went from the 1.5 to 2.0 to 2.5 with the spade drills and then bored from 2.5" to 3.5 inches.

Here we face off the second end.

Now Preston...is this light baffle going to be *coned* or simply a tube?

Sweet work by the way.....

I actually welded the cover for the upper bearing housing for my Mill project..I'm working on. 4 angular sides with 3 straight sides. It was fun. Finally primed it, and put it in place.

Gotta do some fine tuning, and then off to making the fork.

I am no way near the calibur of machinist you have demonstrated yourself to be..

Rob(I still use duct tape.... )well not really...but still....

OK...I understand. Yes..a drawing would put in all into perspective. I'm still very much inpressed. Even though I can't follow very well....

I finished welding the top plate cover for my mill pier. I'll get at some pics soon. KIds have the laptop in use.. Now I need to find some locking bolts for the RA shaft to secure the fork.

Rob
