[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: flang facing

[TOM WHENT via Personal_Submersibles]

In the machinist trade we would use Prussian Blue like Scott had just suggested. If looking for a really close fit, lapping the two surfaces together with a non-embedding compound such as "time-saver" would be an option. With lapping, the contact areas will be very visible in the surface finish. The existing surfaces have to be close for this. 

I like your facing rig. It is very much like portable align boring equipment I have used. 

I'm sorry, I haven't been following along more closely. Is there anything other than the taper to index the location of the mating halves, such as a counterbore? 

Beautiful work! 
Cheers, 
Tom

Hank, 

I had two recommendations. One is articulating paper (like what you use at the dentist to check contacts of teeth). It is inexpensive and transfers where ever there is a contact. 

The other idea is engineers marking blue. It is a paste that you paint on ever so thinly and it transfers wherever there is contact. It is also fairly inexpensive. 

Thank you, 
Scott Waters

Thanks Alan, 
Hey guys I have a tricky situation here. I have lowered the hatch onto the conical seat and it fits nice or at least as far as I can tell. I am alone in this mission so I can not get inside the sphere and place the hatch on the land by myself to determine if the fit is correct from inside. How can I determine if the two angles are fitting perfect? without being inside. I was thinking about plasti gauge for engine rebuilding, it is a little plastic wire that squeezes to a certain thickness for a given gap. 
Maybe there is a better idea out there. 
I still have to take the hatch OD down about .050 in so I have wiggle room to adjust the angle if need be. 
HELP 
Hank
