TUNING….WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED

<< < (2/6) > >>

CharlieDaTuna:
I really don't want to sticky it but would rather bump it to the top for a few days and then we will publish it in the library as soon as it gets some exposure and Gene and I proof it together. May add to or change it and maybe even a little more informative.

I take the time to do these little things to benefit the newbies as well as our general membership. I do it for them, not me. I enjoy doing it and I try to make as many people as possible aware that it's available to them.

A few tools I use frequently are an electric grinder with coarse and fine wheels and an Arbor Press (doesn't have to be gigundo), Vernier calipers, micrometer. One hint about Dremel...keep the revs up...e.g. when you're cutting, grinding, or drilling and you hear the electric motor slowing down, let off on the pressure you are applying to your piece of work and let the tool work slower. Also once the Dremel gets hot, quit for a while until it cools down. A few liquids I always have on hand: cutting oil, acetone, lacquer thinner, denatured alcohol, turpentine. Set yourself up a good source of light to work by. Adhesives: fast glue, Gorilla Glue, epoxy, J B Weld. Just thinking out loud.

Great post Bob and one thing that I've learned when tuning many different types of airguns is all the custom tool's and attachments needed to extract trigger group's and springs. Some are only used several times but it pays off when trying to put all back together. Ed

TCups:
Uh, guys . . .   You forgot something VERY IMPORTANT!

Safety glasses.  Don't work metal without them.

CharlieDaTuna:
Thanks Tommy... that is very important and will add it. Eye protection is vitally important.
