I would like to make a couple of flat plates using .125 thick sheet aluminum to serve as a base for eyepiece holders on a binocular.
The prism housing is from a 7x35 instrument and has a number of blended curvalinear shapes, and I would like the pieces I fabricate to have this same outline.
I could scribe the outline and cut and file to fit, but I was wondering if there might be something method analogous to following a contour on a lathe?
I have a Rong Fu 30, 9-in Trokye rotary table and some misc. precision slides.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas?
Thanks! -Jay-
