Nice machine work!

wheres that friggin drool button again.

edap617 · **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2008, 11:57:46 AM

Energie, is that made of SS or titanium?

Energie · **Reply #20 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:37:41 PM

Thanks all.
It is the result of a rainy weekend.

edap617:
The body is made of aluminium AL Cu Mg Pb (quite hard).
The heatsink is made of sterling silver.

I don´t use titan or stainless steel because of the bad heatsink:
Silver 429 W/(m*K)
Alu 221
Brass 120
Titan 22
Stainless steel 15

This light is driven at 1 Ampere to the Led (Seoul U2WOH) and
needs a special heatsink.
It is approx. 30 % brighter than a Surefire L2 or L4.

The parts (slightly OT):

Thanks a lot for the complete specs, Energie. It's so sweet little light with precission workmanship.

Wow! Nice job Energie! Very impressive.

Can you please post a picture of the finished components, disassembled?

Energie · **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2008, 06:49:25 PM

J-sews · **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2008, 02:50:22 PM

Wow!

You do some good work there sir!

The lathe work is impressive enough, but I especially like how you milled a contour onto the one component for the pocket clip to attach. That must have been pretty tricky!

So does this grade of aluminum you used tend to tarnish like regular aluminum? Will you clear coat paint or mybe get it anodized to keep it looking new and shiny?

I think, this depends on the environmental conditions.
A part of the same material, that I had made 10 years ago,
looks like new. But it has never left the drawer.
Maybe I should try to anodize something.
On the other hand I like the look of old and well used tools
