Hi all, due to a recent response to my remarks about barrel rifling,
I got busy this afternoon and drew up a couple of sketches regarding
this. One is for doing the work on your lathe without having to
change the lathe gearing. It does require some special brackets and
other components though. The other is an easy to build CNC
controlled machine. The CNC is basically used to make interchageable
guides required right on the machine. It could also be used to make
those telescope lens sleeves as well.
I will shortly be posting a file having the sketch for the CNC
version as well as a set of notes explaining how the machine works.
How big a machine anyone wants is up to them and they will have to
work out all the nitty gritty details themselves....I've got enough
drawings to do already!
Look for a file called "Rifiling machine"
