    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    Very nice mod, I really like the burl! As I am color blind (red/green) I am not much help in matching colors. To get a perfect match would require a piece of the same burl the mod was made from and turn it into a drip tip.

    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    The lathe completed 44 of the 50 tips. I finished boxing them up yesterday and the wife put them in the mail this morning. Hopefully they will go up for sale on Monday. I tried to post pictures Wednesday but the forum was down so I will try and post them up this weekend. It is looking like it...

    Thanks I am hoping the double o-ring ones will also fit everything. The diameter and length of the connector will be the same.

    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    Added them to the list. This weekend the wife and I have been doing taxes and they are taking a little longer than planned. On a bright note we don't owe :) The tips should be mailed off on Tuesday or Wednesday. In the past I have been reluctant to make tips with a dual o-ring because the...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    I have been working on your idea of dual o-rings with no dividing wall. The o-rings I use are 0.070 in diameter. I figure make the o-ring groove 0.14 with a top and bottom shoulder of 0.030 should make the connector 0.200 which should fit in my DID.

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    A connector that is 0.260 would be to long for my DID. The connector on the tips I make are ~0.200 which is the depth of the well on my DID. For a single o-ring groove I think it would be 0.130 or I misunderstood what you meant. I am not sure if a connector that was 0.130 would make any...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    It should be possible to press two connectors onto a tube but it would make the connector really long. I was thinking the machinest would press the connector onto the tube. Some people may want just the connector so they can make the tube as long or sort as they like then press in the tube...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    That's a great idea removing the o-ring dividing wall. When I get some time I will experiment with it and see if it will fit in my DID. I would recommend leaving the stainless shoulder so the turner doesn't have to turn the shoulder to ~.336". This would also be nice for turners that don't have...

    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    Sorry it has taken so long to respond I haven't had much time lately. choochoogranny, InTheClouds and Megan5995 I added the tips to the list. So far it is still looking like they will be mailed off on Monday or Tuesday. The motor on the lathe is on its last legs. It is struggling to make...

    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    Not harassing at all, I am happy there is a demand for them :) So far there are 35 tips turned and 15 more to go. Between wisdom teeth and his girl friend kidnapping him for Valentines weekend my son hasn't had a chance to buffed any of the tips. Hopefully this weekend we will get the tips that...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    Today I made a stainless core that spins true between centers for malkuth to show machinists. This is a one piece core and it requires the work piece to be chucked in the metal lathe twice so it will spin true on a wood lathe. Then I started to play around with a press fit stainless core that...

    Pinnacle Drip Tips

    I am very grateful for everyone's support, understanding and all of the ideas and input that made development of these tips possible. Yes, family is the most important thing in my life. For the most part the changes are working well. We didn't make it all the way down the list, but I guess we...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    Yes, very similar to turning pens between centers. Where you glue the material on the core and turn it to the desired shape. It would be great to eventually see cores for sale at places like penn state ind and craft supply usa. Here is a core that I made on my metal lathe, sorry I should have...

    Stainless steel cores for drip tips

    It also provides strengh for the neck of slinder tip. The tip in the picture above broke at the neck when it was dropped and the connector held. Bigscreend on this forum came up with the idea to put a stainless tube inside the wood which solved the problem. Then the connectors started to fail so...
