With forstners, and drill press.

I may make a tuto soon. I will try.

Sorry, I am still getting this page does not exist error. Thanks tourliunette.Tourlounette:8745648 said:
Try a different browser maybe? That link opened just fine in Ff. YMMV...
Having this made by my local machinist. I had to convert all the measurements because the machinery doesn't program in metric. I'm using 1/8" plate for the top and 1/4" for the bottom. I'll have it in a few days and will post build progress here. Thanks, Tourlounette, for a great design and the schematics for us. As soon as I get a drill press I'll try my hand at building this like a real man. 
Id like to get mah hands on a vamo setup like this.

Do notice the threaded battery cap is still used in it's original form....
It would be a PITA if you actually had to use it to unscrew the caps
. We are the few that likes to get our hands sweaty with just a simple battery change OK. Got the pieces from the machinist. THe only modification I had to make was I needed to open the hole for the battery tube a little more to allow the threads to fit through. Otherwise, everything works and I'm totally stoked!
Nice!
Is it possible to know how much it cost?
Well done... Do you like it?
I have just received a new vamo in ss this one. So i will make a an another for my self.
This one will be a bit larger because with my first drawing it is not large enough to put my terminator on it.
Just need 1 mm larger.

It is fun to see what others do.
Here is some from Pumadeck from the Tcheq forum.

I paid $90 for an hour of machine time. Pretty expensive, I know, but I live in Los Angeles. Nothing I can do about that. I plan on getting a drill press and some fostner bits to do it myself next time. The only issue I have is some devices won't make a connection because of the separation plate and the 510 connector. 1mm makes a big difference on dome dripper RBAs. I plan on grinding down some material from the top of the Vamo around the drip well to raise the connector a tiny bit. When I make another set, I will make the top (22mm) holes about .5mm deeper. I love it though.
That price really is not that bad, considering. Doing these oneself without a machine shop is bound to take well over an hour too.
Well....
That's slicker than Vaseline on a warm doorknob
Just got mt ss version a couple of hours ago and already want to "break it in half"

If this hits the market, I'm definitely in for one. An elegantly simple solution, I love it.
