Machined slotted die
About
I crashed my friend’s personal machine shop to refresh my manual mill and lathe skills on his equipment. The spinning fidget ring was good practice for making clearance vs press fits. Milling the 3 slotted die out of copper, brass, and aluminum was a fun exercise in working with different materials, planning cutting operation orders, and mini-assembly line practice.
