The Offcial Machinist Thread: Revised 01/04/2014

[ramses]

Can you at least put them in a ZIP folder? it'd take you probably half the time it would take one of us to download it, and then you could upload it directly to spudfiles as an attachment.

sorry I didn´t have time to read the whole thread .
I just want to know if anybody selles to portugal, money isn´t a big problem, as soon as it´s reasonable

[jazzman56]

Any chance of getting a high pressure vessel machined, that can be filled with a shock pump???

To fit standard 1cm fittings (not sure of the thread size). Doesn't really matter what thread size as long as it's standard(so it fit's parts from Bunnings)

A reasonable price including shipping to NSW Australia would be much appreciated.

thanks jazzman

I think you want 1/4" BSPT. I have a tap for this so I can do it...send me a drawing of what you want and I'll see.

HEY EVERYONE!! I WILL SOON NEED A LOADING SYSTEM MACHINED OUT OF ALUMINUM, AND PLASTIC, I LIVE IN THE US, AND I'M ONLY 15 SO I DO NOT HAVE VERY MUCH CASH!! sorry for that all capital letters.. I just wanted it to be seen.. it is for a semi automatic airsoft gun, I will buy materials, pay for machining, and shipping.. I want to try and keep it under 50 dollars, and I will send you a diagram.. if there are any members in Alabama, please tell me!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you are interested, whether you live in Alabama, or not!! MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, AND THE MACHINIST WILL GET CREDIT!!

Just a few things, one of which may be useful to other readers;

1) Do not post in all caps. It's just plain obnoxious.
2) It was pretty clear you're only 15. I'm not all that much older, but a lot maturing happens in those few years.
3) There is a Spudfiles member map.

[evanmcorleytv]

sorry..? just needed help.. someone referred me here.. I haven't been on spudfiles in a while.. what a warm welcome.. thanks for the info.. and P.S. I am NOT a just some rowdy teenager.. I have just been looking for a long time, and this seemed like a true opportunity.. I am far ahead of many people in my school, in science, and math, I am skilled with robotics, RC airplanes, that I build, and chemistry.. so please don't try to give me advice on maturing.. I know I can be immature at TIMES, I was just extremely excited, sorry for have a good time.

I live in usa, could somebody possibly make me a mold to make some lead castings to make some ammo?

If you can that would be great

can be made out of aluminum or what ever

the mold will be for 1/2 inch copper pipe and 1/2 inch pvc sch40
and possibly 3/4

also, what im looking at price wise

You need to post a drawing showing all shapes, dimensions and tolerances for the projectile you want.

[jsefcik]

well i would like it took have it kinda like this
and about 1 inch long
what do you guys mean tolerances?
I want it fit be able to slide into the pipe nicely but not wobling and alot of damage to occur!!!!!

but where the yellow is, i want that to be solid

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I just want to know if anybody selles to portugal

Maybe

Everyone making requests, please have the decency to post a dimensioned drawing of what you would like made, together with the materials and any tolerances you require.

can you help me out with my wanted mold!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

My point about providing information:

well i would like it took have it kinda like this
and about 1 inch long

That's just an idea, like telling someone "I have a concept in my head, can you make it reality?"

You can approach companies with this, but they will charge you top dollar for it. To expect the same from individuals who are essentially "doing you a favour" is a bit much.

A dimensioned drawing of the projectile is the least you could provide.

i gave a picture of something i want, about 1 inch and able to fit in 1/2 inch copper pipe and for 1/2 inch pvc sch40

[MrCrowley]

1/2 inch copper pipe and for 1/2 inch pvc

The 1/2" diameters listed for copper and PVC pipes are nominal diameters (i.e., they're not actually 1/2" in diameter). Also, the diameter for copper and PVC changes depending on schedule, rating, manufacturer etc, so provide an exact diameter or you may end up with something that doesn't fit.

Edit: By the way, you could make a mold that simple from a piece of wood. You could even do what I have done in the past and hammered fishing sinkers in to a cylindrical shape to fit 3/4" copper pipe.
