SUGAR SHOT'S P-CLASS MOTOR NOZZLE UPDATE
I finished the modifications to the Sugar Shot to Space's DSS TM-3 motor this weekend. It was particularly tough machining through screw holes. The open spaces created a hammering effect that subjected the tool and lathe to quite a beating. I wonder if filling the holes with epoxy would have helped. Once the adapter ring arrives I will make sure the two pieces fit together and that they fit the motor casing. For now, I'm back to work on the TR-1 motor.

Filling the holes with epoxy, not a bad idea, I had the same hammering problem when I re-machined the forward bulkhead to accept the new retaining ring and got into the existing bolt holes.
