Hi,

This one is just to say, GoodBye (by now ...) !

I have asked John & Robert to delete all my Posts and my Alias (PaulNoiseLess).

Best,

Paul

Good to know. Let us know when you have something to show.

... Now before you Panties get all twisted and bound in the crack of your Ass I'm Joking . Someone had to do it. But seriously ... So, you like joking others but you do not accept others joking you, right ? Don’t read my Posts like I do with yours (if any …). It’s that simple, that means freedom of...

Hi, Yes, and I agree: Wall thickness is an issue in this one. This Baffle Pic was a nice opportunity to dig deeper into the world of “hidden walls” that causes 90% of K-Baffles failures. Wall thickness is one but not alone … Anyway, Mr. Bender-HCaine; OK, I got it !, case is closed now !, you are th...

Hi, Yes, I agree wall thickness is the main issue on this one (0.022 is just too thin). What I’m trying to say is that there are more issues. Some of the other issues described (let’s say they are "potential" issues by now due to the lack of accurate dimensions) can also force the Baffle t...

Hi, From just one Pic, it’s quite difficult to model the Baffle in 3D to run some FEA on it. I did it but the measurement might not be very accurate. I’ve seen quite a few (more than few, to be honest) K-Baffles bending. Most of them do from the Base to the back side and usually more or less in a sy...

Hi, F you !, just kidding you know … :wink: One thread is a mess for 8 or 10 different Chapters: Lot of Pics and Vids so easy to get lost. This way is also more selective: you like this, get in; you don’t just skip. Rotating patterns are good as long as your Core OD fits your Tube ID. If you have a ...

Hi, TinCanMan: Thanks a lot for you wise, technical, polite and valuable advice. It’s a lesson most of us must learn. I’m still working on tighten down the vice. Centers are OK but still having chattering issues (testing on another round bar). Let me share a secret with you: It’s really frustrating ...

Is this okay to use on .308 wm? Hi, Sure you can ! 1) Have the Form 1 in hand 2) Buy the metals and all related stuff 3) Build the Can 4) Mount the Can in your Gun 5) Turn on the Video Recorder (not too close, please) 6) Aim to your mouth (Don’t eat it too much, 4 inches is enough) 7) Pull the trig...

Hi, Thanks Wolf, i understand (I’m not a machinist at all). My main concern is how to recover the “centers” (for all the holes) once I move from the Lathe to the Drill Press for the final holing. I’m not moving the part in the Vise (using the same one just removing the tool holder) so using the same...

If the caps fit into the tube then you are wrong and have crossed the line ... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Just Google “tube and caps” and you’ll get plenty of goodies that never went through ATF. I understand, and respect, legal rules but statements like this one are just a joke. Paul

Hi,

You’ve got chips now !

Paul

Hi, Yes, I know what you mean. I do not have a factory Milling Attachment just a Homemade Vise one. It chatters (vibrates) a lot for tools > 6 mm and/or depth > 10 mm. What I’m doing is just drill center the holes to later on transfer to the Drill Press for finishing. It works (by now) and the cente...

Hi, I tested this shape long time ago: It worked fine (rifle) with subsonic ammo. It’s the model I have in COMSOL so need to have a real one now to compare (old one is gone !). I expect improvements using the Ti Tube but still don’t know. Takes less than 4 hours to build one and it’s really small, b...

Hi, Chapter (3-II): Center Drilling the Baffles It’s time for the upper & lower side Holes. Use the Tool Post screw to set the right height. I’ve got an Ooops ! :( in the last Baffle: Just run out of steps (like 30 or so) so last Baffle is going to be different :wink: Next, Chapter 4: Transfer t...

Hi,

Yes, there is some extra metal to remove but I prefer to leave it there till the end. The actual empty volume is already enough so not in a hurry.

No, the bullet is not flying wrong, actually, not flying at all (yet, …)

Paul

Hi,

Wolf: Yes, I’m open to criticism. All I ask is for respect, no s--t.

Paul

Hi, Chapter (3-I): Center Drilling the Baffles Now, it’s about to Drill the Center holes. I like Holes, they are always a good source for a drink (water), food (roots & bugs) & fun (sex) … We are Drilling the Center holes; Blast & Baffles. The last step is just to take the Center Drill t...

Hi, Chapter 2: Turning Turning is not a big deal in this particular case: Core and Rear Caps are different parts (for testing purposes). Front Cap is going to be fastening thru a SS bolt but Rear Cap is going to be “press fitted” and threaded once it’s in there using Core’s OD as reference diameter....

Hi, Chapter 1: The Model and the Machining Plan The first Pic shows the Core I’m going to build. Caps will be standalone Parts to allow testing with different Tube OD’s and Materials. The second Pic shows how Baffles are formed. I have selected the Dimensions to fit my tooling (Drills, Mills, Vise a...

Hi, Chapter 0: This one is just an Intro. OK, my Titanium Tubes already arrived at town. My first project is a MonoCore: Fully built in a MiniLathe (9x20) and a Drill Press, not just symmetric holes in a raw (like Mosquito or MFJ or Dragonfly or others …). Little bit better Baffles. Here you have th...

.243WM is what you’ll never have access to due to your short budget. Look delata9mda: I just don’t like yonkies. If they do drugs due to issues on life, I can understand. You do by frustration, just to be “bigger” than others. Your way can only get you “smaller” (if possible) Stop using steroids, I ...

If you are making a product you need to test it and prove everything before you attempt to profit off of it, or you end up with some pissed customers and a bad reputation(as we have seen rather recently). Hi, ^^^^ This explains why you are the only “Manufacturer ??????” in the Market not having pro...

Hi,

Good point but never had issues before (300+ videos there ...). I'll try.

Paul

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKMPbdRttVQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFMHbyhefw0 I don't quite understand the point of typing in curse words and putting them in a video. Hi, Yes, all those (and some others) are old Tubeless Cans Videos but the new one is a lot better. For some reason, this Vid...
