Some rack handle ferrules


Recommended Posts

Trying to channel some positive energy here tonight after my spring failure...

After I finished my movement holder I was asked if I could make rack handle ferrules for old Phase Linear amplifiers. The original ferrules arrived this afternoon so I took a stab at it. 

OD is .500 inch for reference. (The gray one is the original and the silver one is what I made today)

Simple enough turning job, though parting off finish could be improved on?.........Oh to have access to a lathe again, that is the one thing I miss about retiring, my first job on leaving school was a five year apprenticeship as a scientific instrument maker, we spent the first 6 months in the apprentice school making our own tools, still have the centre finder and set square......
