Oh, you mean BUY a drip tip? LOL NEVER!

Pssh, I meant steal one from a tank you’re not using anymore. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Um… I use them all? :blush:

The Velocity has an O-Ring around it that provides a nice friction brake for the airflow adjustment. Does yours have the O-Ring on it?

Actually I have been meaning to get out to the garage and turn a dozen or so Delrin drip tips. Time… It’s the holiday and I don’t go back to work till Monday. So maybe…

You mean that color on this tank?

That is actually that green material in this tip.

I guess he bought it all out. I just ordered a couple of pieces of the bronze and blue and the lime mesh.
Much more fun than white delrin.

I have a 50 year old Craftsmen benchtop lathe in my garage. :stuck_out_tongue:

Use black Delrin if you have any. Make it the core for the heat resistance.

I have a Unimat

And a Denford Micromill in my closet!

And a whole shop full of CNC mills and lathes :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’d settle for an old Bridgeport Knee mill for my garage and a bigger lathe to chase threads on gun barrels with.
I worked in an old school machine shop for 15 years. No CNC. We though we where uptown when we got digital indicators for our knee mills.

Yeah, I wish I had a Bridgeport in my dining room. No wife. No worries!

Ok, we completely ruined this thread! LOL
