Telescoping Jack Screw - FINAL PROJECT

Yep, basically just like that. We are making two because if you have a really long bar and want to cut both sides maybe, you will have support on both sides. The nice thing about mine is that the 45 degree slot at the top of the caps allows me to clamp round bar in the vise as well.
 
Justin, the work you have done is looking pretty good, despite some of the problems you have run into. Don't forget that making mistakes is part of learning, and it's best to make them sooner than later.

Did you remove the drawings for this project? I noticed that they are gone from the initial post in this thread.
 
Time to start my internship in a week; but I'm finally done.
Used 2 drill sizes smaller than the bore size. Go to measure it, it's right in the middle of the tolerance I need. I didn't even have to bore it and it was concentric within .001.

Outstanding! So, Justin, spill it - did you pretty much get full credit for this?

If you approach your internship with the excitement and open mind that you've displayed here, you'll do great. Good luck!

Well it hasn't been graded yet, but I think it's an A-. Thanks for the tips, I definitely will approach my internship with a positive attitude.

I know there were a few changes but I was looking forward to the crimping operation for the cap. Was this a change also?
 
Not sure. The .19 radius was changed to a .250 radius so just used a .250 endmill to make little cuts on the end. Still has to grade the top so I can't crimp it in yet.
 
If you were advanced a bit you could cut a groove in the cap and use a o ring to keep the cap on instead of peening it on. After awhile you will be able to look at things and in your mind figure alternative ways of doing things. Or problem solving I call it. Think and do.

I find that I can sometimes "solve the problem" while trying to go to sleep at night. The mind is free to wander and often I'll stumble over an easier way to do something. Then, the next day, try to remember the solution, and what problem it went to.
