Before you start, Remember to 'measure twice - cut once'!
Machining sequence:
| 1. Start with 3" round Aluminum rod (3" x 3"). Diameter is larger than needed to allow cutting cooling fins if TEC is added later. | 2. Face both surfaces flat and to desired sizes on lathe and turn outside diameter | 3. Drill 3/4" center hole | 4. Bore 2" hole to accept camera | 5. Cut 1-1/4" eyepiece adapter | 6. . Chamfer edge surfaces |
