Five Easy Probes

sshewins · November 06, 2013, 05:21:56 PM

Ok, just had me another thought. Why re-invent the wheel. If you have an extra hollow probe lying around, fill the drill intersection with some epoxy and reshape it.

All this is based on never having seen a hollow probe, just assuming that it is made by drilling two holes and calling it a day.

I don't know, maybe I'm over-thinking it.

So true .... if it doesn't work, try it again ... and again ..... and again .....

Yep, but my probe experimentation has run its course for a little bit

Always interesting to review (some) of the old threads, also interesting to see the one, or two time visitor/members (at least 6 guys in this thread) who went away never to return?

You are so correct Brian. I just went back and reviewed the thread to see how many folks have disappeared. Amazing.

I am "correct"? Ya... once in awhile.

I think many of those guys are here for a quick "mod-my-gun for me" visit.

Do you think we have 50 hardcore members? Maybe fewer?

I'm still around. I just don't post unless I have something semi-intelligent to add. Or something possibly funny.

I need to find me a forum without so much chatter!

You guys talk too much....

What a great read, thanks for all your hard work in this. I have an idea, no idea if it's feasible though & no metal working tools or skills to find out, but here goes. Could you make a solid probe, the same length as a hollow probe the drill out the centre to make a tube. Then instead of drilling a hole, remove the bottom section of the probe. I envision the probe looking a bit like a train tunnel. Does that make any sense? If the rear of the hollow tube part was curved forward would this also help gas flow? An awful description I know but hopefully you'll get what I mean
