Now you're our new found friend...

I have been pricing these clamps for my project where I only found one source very similar to your design (10mm threading)...

www.flyncycle.com/acatalog/MIRROR_MOUNTING.html

You interested in fabbing up some more of these for sale (with KZR etching) or custom etching such as OMR?

Seriously...

Excellent work, and the part looks really nice! :cheer:

Being slightly more familar with some of the other various metal finishing options/possibilities such as:
Buffing (perhaps waxing too);
Painting;
Powder coating;
Gun Koting;
Annodizing;
Plating;
Ceramic;

Am now adding Teflon hardcoat to the list.

Hoping to learn more about the relative merits of the Teflon finish and related general information such as:
Where to get it done commercially (individual parts, small to large);
Whether diy is possible;
Expense involved;
On which parts it's most feasible;
Any issues or special handling where part has a machined mating surface;
Pros and cons, toughness, etc.

Good Luck! :)
