Re: Body mounts. Pivoting front mount

Same procedure, just add a small drop of glue to the pivot when the magnet is secured so it is not flexing in use.

Body mounts.

Using magnets for body mount is a great idea from Wes. Using 2 magnets pr. mount makes you observe polarity when securing. I'm using a carbon steel bolt and one magnet D 4x3.6 mm ish. It'is strong enough and add some benefits. Also putting a collar on the bolt (glued) to give the magnet some slack a...

Routing track with CNC and 0.7 mm bit.

A friend of mine has a small CNC router - but no small bits. We decided to test with a small drill bit just to see what happened. Of course it broke, you can see it bending. Then he used the remains for a new test. It did work if we did it slow enough. We will do more when I get proper routing bits....
