Brief Description: Continued assembly of AST servo system
Dragged out the woodworing miter saw to cut the aluminum tube spacers for the AST servo mouning gizmo. I previously found that using a hack saw or the bandsaw was a bit unwieldy. My techinquie is therefore to set up the stop blocks on the miter saw fir the desired lengh of tube. Instead of directly cutting the tube--very tricky because it wants to jump out of your hands--I drill a 5/16 inch hole in the end of a piece of 2x2 wood (from the shipping ocntainer. I then insert the aluminum tube into the 2x2, flush on one end with the end of the 2x2, and then cut the 2x2 to the proper length, cleanly cutting the embedded aluminum tube. I can usually get within about 10 thousandths.
I then began assembling the AST servo rod assembly, but could not find an appropriate crimping tool for the electrical connections.
