After months of being shut down, we’re happy to announce that the machine shop finally opened up! This means we were able to get our main weapon finished with the mounting we needed! Thanks to our magnificent David Rush for documenting the whole process!!!
First, we have to make sure the very large weapon is secured to the mill base!
Next, we have to measure the inconsistencies from the waterjetting process and clean them up using a boring tool! The bearing hole was off by about 1mm.
After we got the hole correct to the blueprints, we have to bore it out to install the bearing!
After boring the bearing hole, we wanted to make sure the bearing fit snug!
The next step in the process is to make the holes to mount the pulley to the weapon!
After the mounting holes were drilled, we decided to test the fit!
NOW, the final bit to mill, the tooth holes! The Red Rush Weapon will have a hardened s7 steel tooth mounted for maximum damage.
AND THAT IS IT! The weapon is ready for tooth and final installation!!
