milling the eye-wire channel

[bakerboy4679]

When doing so, should I run 2 separate channels, or 1 channel, looking something like what Andy did on an Angel here (http://www.warpedairsmithing.com/cncimgs/MVC-012F.JPG)?

It is a Break Beam setup, so 4 wires will be traveling down the body.
I think 2 would be easier(there-in not bunching the wires together, requireing deeper milling).


Comments?

That works eh?

I planned on doing my cuts in the tub, its easier to replace if I screw it up.

[bakerboy4679]

You can't.
The boardset sits right there, hence the reason for these channels.

yes you can do them in the tub/frame, you run the eye wires under the board, and just mill the slots in the tub a bit deeper.

Ahh thats what you meant. Sorry I misunderstood!! :shuffle:

I'm going to run the wires on top.
:Shades:

I would definatly think it'd be easier to mill the grip frame. Plus, less of a chance to screw things up

Yeah, there's not much meat on the bottom of the body to play with as compared to an Angel body. On all of the Tribal ACE installs I've done, I've milled the grip frame, not the body.

Aight well as opposed to all of you(actually before I read all of this), I got impatient and went ahead and cut on the body.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?!?!? :Cry4:




....everythings fine.. haha :cooolll4:
I actually ended up useing a dremel tool. it cut fairly nice actually, you just had to be very precise.

[Theguy]

Dremel is what I planned on using.


Where the hell do you guys get eye covers???? Eclipse won;t send me any.

*edit* one of my other posts turned up results.
