3 piece dials

Post by neckyzips »

Ok, so back in the shop, finishing up my backlog and looking forward, several members have asked for dials, so i have been making a few here and there and thought i would show you guys the steps and ask if there was anything in particular you would like to see made. These are fun to make and take a lot of set up and jig making to get right but the end result is a nice dial with tight fitting inserts that can be anodized or painted to suit. Any text or logo can be added, or changed around. I will be making the standard dials MM, LP, RP, etc but if there is something you would like to add feel free to list it.
Anodizing takes a while so i have sent some of the standards out to be done, meanwhile painting them works just fine too.

Tool paths for the plexi, the plexi takes 0.25mm end mills to accurately cut the indexes so they fit correctly

Inserts finished they then get cleaned and polished
