treasurydept Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I notice that a 7750 rotor is made up of 2 distinct parts... the main body and the 'weight' end. Has anybody ever separated these two pieces, or does anybody know how they are connected (e.g. friction, glue etc.)? Looking at it closely it resembles a 'dove-tail' join but I could be wrong.

RWG Technical Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm trying to find a novel way of fixing that bloody stickered rotor on the HBB.... If you mean by removing the letters...they are held in place with glue that has the consistancy of sticky notes...they come right off...

slai Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I know this is a bit of a tangent, but does anyone think it would be possible to get one of those shopping mall engravers to engrave a rotor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Verry possible, might be a problem getting it curved, alot of engraving machines are not very good at doing curved things as far as i know, but bear in mind the last one i worked on was quite old!

freddy333 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I know this is a bit of a tangent, but does anyone think it would be possible to get one of those shopping mall engravers to engrave a rotor? Things may have changed in recent years, but I tried to have a couple rotors (and some other parts) engraved several years ago & they got completely screwed up in the process. I could not really blame the operator after watching her struggling (and giving it a good try) to keep the parts stable & angled correctly in the machine. But like I said, things may be different today, but it was definitely not a pretty sight when I had mine done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Laser engraving is the way to go... I recently had a rather rare semi automatic hand gun refinished. In the process the refinisher stripped off most of the engraving. I found a local machine shop that had a laser engraver. Gave him a photograph of the original engraving, he created a mechanical drawing of the engraving and then his laser engraver did its work. The end product was a perfectly engraved slide. My jeweler also has a much smaller laser engraver that he used to engrave micro-serial numbers on rings. It can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 good tip Carl, laserengraving would certainly work on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
