When your Impact parts are already spread out over a square meter on the kitchen table.......
I thought, why not make a PEEK regulator piston right away?
This was a challenge, making a 7mm x 16mm part on a 800 kilogram lathe and a 300kg milling machine.... the vent hole is 1mm diameter to give you a idea of the size.
Good news, it even works too
Not that the original Delrin one isn't good, but I had to try it out. PEEK is harder and stronger, but I had to find out if it is able to seal as well.
