OverviewIssue:
Can't put a huge aluminum cylinder on the lathe.
Can't assume the cots cylinder is perfectly smooth/uniform... it will have some imperfections and be warped.
- How to smooth these out without the use of a lathe?
Tools:
- Engine Cylinder Hone
- Method of Use:
- removes a little material on inner tube
- put on drill
- Will it work on 6 inch metal cylinder.
- How to purchase?
- order online, replace sandpaper
- Method of Use:
Questions:
Problem:
Screw holes are not radially symmetric (run-out tolerance is too high)
Solutions:
Get inside circular (using cylinder hone)
Allows us to clamp chuck from inside of the cylinder when radially indexing (?)
Find a way to make the outside circular, then radially index how we have been
Build a new tool to attach to drill?
Use homemade woodturner to slowly turn and sand the outside?
- What does tool do? spins sandpaper very fast
- How to use tool? mount on drill Will it work? maybe
Next Steps:
Order
Cylinder cylinder hone online, replace stones with 80 grit sandpaper.
Look at homemade turning tool
