Hello everybody,
today I have made a few more experiments to make these
Fitting rings, wherefore I've fished out again my
Punch & Die Set (USM).
I first used
Styrene (0,5 mm), from which I punched a small disk with
Ø 1 mm,
which then was drilled out with
Ø 0,4 mm,
and then was threaded onto the
Nickel silver wire (Ø 0,4 mm).
The same procedure I did for comparison with
Styrene 0,4 mm, whereto I used a normal
Fileback fastener.
This somewhat narrower disc can be seen to the left of the 0,5 mm disc, and above that the rings made of
Insulating hose.
Due to the uniform thickness, the punched rings would certainly look more even, whereas the rings made of Insulating hose are easier to manufacture and better fit the contours of the
Cable Tray and the
Feedline. As a result, I'll probably stay with the insulating hose variant.
