This video is part of the Base Lab Toolsfine adjustment screw tutorial page detailing how to drill and press fit a Base Lab Tools 1/4-80 fine adjustment screw bushing (TB250-80-0438) into an aluminum plate. This would be the first step in using this 1/4-80 fine adjustment screw bushing to build a custom mount or translation stage.
Base Lab Tools offers a wide selection of fine adjustment screws and bushings at (http://www.baselabtools.com/Adjusters_c_33.html).
In this video, the 1/4-80 fine adjustment screw bushing used was the TB250-80-0438 which can be found at (http://www.baselabtools.com/14-80-Bushing--044-in-716-in-Long_p_249.html).
The drill used was a 9/32 and a 5/16 reamer was used to make the hole to size and round.

When weight matters what optical breadboards to use?

There are often special optical applications that restrict the weight of the optical breadboard being used. In the application the equivalent of an optical table skin can be used to reduce weight. Base Lab Tools now offers our slim solid aluminum breadboards which are only 1/4" thick for these demanding optical breadboard requirements.
The first introduction in our product line was the SAB066-S which is a slim (1/4" thick), lightweight version of our standard 6" x 6" solid aluminum optical breadboard. The SAB066-S is depicted in the schematic below:
At less than 1 pound in weight this aluminum breadboard is half the weight of Base Lab Tools standard 1/2" standard solid aluminum optical breadboards.
- Weighs less than 1 pound
- Rounded corners for more safe laboratory environment
- Designed with true 1/2" border allowing 1" spacing to be maintained when joining two breadboards together.
- All breadboard sizes have at least 5 counterbore mounting holes for center mounting and greater stability.
