Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[PixMan]

It'll be fine with the squarish shape, and the holes I put in today are accurately located. No worries, no screw modification should be required.

Here's a few photos, starting with...what I started with. I coated it with red Dykem layout fluid, then figured out where the center of the 14mm bore should land. I scribed lines with my height gauge, swung an arc with my smaller (antique) Starrett divider and it worked out fine, eventually. You can see .010" deep evidence of the machine not following my initial toolpath.


Here I've got the main profile near finished, and roughed out for the rear cylindrical locating boss.


Done for the 3 hours I could afford today after work, the rear mounting boss finished, with it's 1mm x 45º chamfer. Also got the two 6.5mm holes in, and a starter hole for the 14mm bore.


In the next day or three I hope to finish the 14mm bore, mill a little more off the lower "tab". I will then square up a block of aluminum, mill the inverse contour of the part and 43mm bore into it, and add a pair of M6x1 tapped holes to secure it. Then I counterbore the top side of the part for the M6 screws and fasten to the fixture plate. That plate should allow me to finish the top side features, but also stand it on it's 90º side for doing the 6mm slot and 16mm bore.

Sorry for the substandard photos. I'd left my cameras at home in my bike's tank bag and top box, so cell phone photos will have to suffice for today.
