My experience is with smaller cams. I have some large bellows someone else removed but I haven't inspected them closely. Try to determine HOW the bellows is...
If the bellows is really 'shot' and you don't intend to unwrap it as a template, you could carefully cut it off and determine what remained holding the...

Real "butcher blocks" (the ones in a butcher shop with the end grain facing up) are often assembled using a funny interlocking dovetail joint along four sides...

... Hi Darcy I would vote for anodozing, it's much more durable than poweder coating (may flake and is succeptable to some solvents). however will anodozing...
Darcy, Anodizing is an electrochemical process and can but does not always make the surface harder. Some of the color anodizing is more of a cosmetic process....
I agree that anodizing is the way to go. Sometimes threaded screw holes and other places where the fit is important are left un-anodized. If you want to do the...
Most woodglues succumb to steaming, but the urethanes (Gorilla glue etc) dissolve with ketones (acetone, ether, methyl butyl ketone etc) not as noxious as...
What I know about anodizing is primarily that it makes the aluminum harder. I can't believe it would deform it at all. Otherwise, how could you fit perfectly...
I, too, am puzzled about the deformation. Perhaps the previous poster could elaborate on how to minimize the effect. There is a good summary of dimension...
If you mean me ('previous poster'), I don't know. The link you provide indicates how much thickness to expect. If you're machining and fitting to those...
