Holding device for outrigger mod washer: 2008-02-29
Nikon Coolpix 8400
The outrigger mod needs plastic washers somewhat thinner than the FL11 available from Europa. This is the device I made to hold a FL11 in the lathe chuck and allow it to be faced off to about half its original thickness. It's just a piece of aluminium bar with a large hole drilled through and a shallow recess bored in the face, sized to be a good fit on the FL11. A hacksaw cut through the periphery allows it to close slightly when gripped in the chuck and so hold the FL11 firmly. The reduction in diameter at the back of the holder is not significant, it was already there on the offcut of bar stock that I used to make the holder. An un-modified FL11 is also shown.

Here's a stock-issue FL11 placed in the holding device. Just over half its thickness protrudes, allowing the face to be skimmed down until it's the correct thickness for the outrigger mod.
