7.8) Item 59, Vernier Pivot Fabrication

Now is the time to make something that's a little more taxing, the vernier pivot fabrication. This fabrication will look as below:-

There are three parts in this fabrication, two pivots (Items 42 and 43) and the vernier (Item 41) itself. The vernier is made from brass.

The central 4mm hole should be drilled 3.9mm and reamed 4mm using the reamer shown in section 8. Use your rotary table and the engraving cutter shown in section 8 to mark the vernier graduations.

The pivots should be made from brass to the drawings below:-

The three parts should be silver soldered together as below:-
