Drilling and power tapping some holes in a waterjet cut blank from @metalcreaturevashon using the Bridgeport. I've run taps up to 1" diameter like this and the machine doesn't seem to care much. I wonder what the diameter limit is, though. This is a 3/4-10 spiral flute at 160rpm, and the time lapse is a pattern of 3/8-16 holes at about 300rpm.

Aluminum brazing! Not that"as-seen-on-TV" crap either. Harris makes a product called AL-braze 1070 which is surprisingly un-fussy to use. 2nd photo is my joint, third is a factory joint. A/C fittings for @peacevans ✌️
Boing. Updating the weld fixture for some @peacevans parts. Parts kept getting stuck in the jig so I had to make the jig collapse easily. With the bolts in, the jig is tight against the waterjet cut parts (thanks @metalcreaturevashon for the excellent work as always), then after removing them, the slug halves come out easily.
