A clean Dirty Arse with all formerly sharp edges now shilky shmooth.

The End?

Nice. Love that custom windowed emitter. Looks like it was always meant to be there.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

:lol: Thanks Greysider. Crystals and Windows = me, Sucker4. Am easily, distractingly fascinated by glowy things. Was kinda touchNgo during it with drilling onto a curved edge, you can probably see some of the times I slipped, then got to the point with 'stuff-it!' and just went for it hoping for the best. :P

Might I inquire how you were able to cut out the windows on you Ares? I'm going to be ordering an ASP hilt eventually and a Rebel Emitter is one of the parts and I would like my new one to have the windows in it. Thanks again.
After the fact, it will be much easier if you have a rotary tool with cutting discs. The convoluted way I did it (after removing the blade retention setscrew completely) was with a loose shroud, loosely lined to how it tightens and marked-off where the mouth would sit on the inner flute. Then drilled two holes at (about) positions 9 & 3 (about 180 degrees apart). I then retrofitted a makeshift metal hacksaw blade (alternating) with a thin-profiled file, chucked it into a drill on hammer-setting vice and continued the outer circumference lines by dragging-motion with drill bit to meet each other. Then followed by a heap of additional filing & sanding to smooth-out the edges and for the inside (where tool and fingers couldn't reach) I used a long drill bit to lightly score the inside burrs so the blade/plug could be seated without restriction.

Much the same process for the hole on top of the shroud too. It would seem I took the long and hard way of the road less travelled.
Last Edit: 8 months 1 week ago by OvrcAHst. Reason: the striked part. must've been on drugs cos it didn't read right.
