Yeah, I've got it this way mostly so I can create a single mount design and it works for both sides. It's just to avoid having to create one and mirror it and machine them separately if they were asymmetrical. Lazy, I knowThe tube does not need to be perfectly aligned, just stable. The distance between the tube and the first mirror and second mirror is static, you just need the second mirror to be adjustable.
Great idea, I've added a pair of .38" holes in the tube mount that can be used for this purpose.I think you should allow for the cooling tubing in your harness. It needs to be well supported so it doesn't break off the glass nipple it is attached to.
andAlso I think that the water outlet tube (which is the front of mine, based on some diagram I found) should have the tubing exit on the top so that bubbles are more readily forced out.
Not sure these can both be done with my current design. I figure I'll rotate the tube to move the electrodes as far as possible from metal. The mounting rings are easy enough to move as it is but it will be a juggling match to go between the two requirements.You should also try to keep the electrodes as far from metal as possible. I would use 2 inches of clearance and maybe double that for creepage as a guideline
Nah, it's not too bad. The trick is to align the vise accurately to the machine and touch it off so then when you drop parts in, their edge is already known. I use a laser edge finder and it's good to a few thousandths pretty easily and that's more than good enough for something like this.A couple of those parts look like they'll be a challenge to fabricate. The ones with the holes drilled in the ends...
