    The document describes the process of creating a plumb bob in 3 steps. First, a 4 inch piece of aluminum was cut using a drop saw and WD40 to reduce heat buildup. Second, a metal lathe was used to mill the aluminum into a plumb bob shape by taking advantage of the lathe's tools. Third, a buffer was used to polish the plumb bob, resulting in a final product that was very good looking and functional.

    Plumbob Project

    Created by Mac Irvine


    Step 1: Cutting the Main Piece
    I used the drop saw to cut the
    aluminium to a 4 inch piece, and
    used to WD40 to reduce heat
    build up.
    Step 2: Milling the Aluminium
    I used a metal lathe to mill the
    aluminium into a plumb bob shape.
    This was very easy due to the tools
    that the lathe offers to reduce work.
    Step 3: Polishing the Plumb bob
    I used a buffer to increase the
    shine of the plumb bob. The final
    product came out very good and
    really nice looking and functional.
    Finished!
