Battery Pods

05/05/09

Machining the pod caps.  I could only turn these at 25rpm and it took forever to get these faced.  Any faster rpm or feed rate and it produced chatter.  I could not get the O ring groove in either, it chattered to much.  I am forced to take this to a professional engineering company to have the O ring groove put in.  They have a much bigger machine that should be able to cope.  While they are doing that, I can get on with some of the other through hull components.
