Sherline have some examples of compact workshops on their website, for making small parts you really don't need a setup that takes up a lot of space.
But the passthrough is too small for barrel work and the mill can be a bit cramped on some parts.

I think I am going to make the Poppet/balance out of drill rod. Then put a PEEK "washer" to seal the valve. I am thinking of center drilling a small spring run in the center of the balance. Then continue an 0.052" through stem. This of course will add volume that needs to be filled but hopefully not to much. Trying to decide what to use for the thimble material. All I have here is 6061 and some 1018.
I think the atmosphere vented valve wouldn’t be that bad as long as the poppet isn’t shrouded from the air flow like in Bob’s design.
That sure looks a lot like the Evanix air speed mechanism.
Great work on the animation . Wish I had the time to work on stuff like that . I suffer from paper design and animate in my head . Which usually translates to missing a few key steps .
