I don't have a micrometer, or else I could probably figure this out on my own. Perhaps someone could help me out?
I am making a sliding dewshield assembly on my refractor project, and I want to have a brass compression band under a soft felt interface for clamping/releasing the dewshield.
Can someone tell me the thickness of the brass band that people like Astro-Physics use in their barlow eyepiece clamp, or Televue use?
I'm eyeballing it at 1/32nd inch or veryyy slightly smaller. I see McMaster has got 0.032 and 0.025 brass bands in stock, and wondering which one is better.
Thanks!
Mike
