Make a Mini FIRE PISTON On Lathe

Показать описание

In this video, I made a mini fire piston used for lighting a fire with air pressure. It is especially useful if you go camping in nature and you want to start a fire like a pro :P
Solidworks files and drawings will be available soon on my website.

Excellent work. Skilled craftsman. With respect from Russia.

Nice work. молодец. Two updates to try. Move the o-ring back 1 cm. For the char-cloth slot try drilling a 7.5mm diam x 5mm deep hole in the end of the piston instead of the slot. If you want to see how well it works try some shaved bark from a tree and see if it ignites.

Well done, nice project. You are fortunate to have access to the correct tools necessary to produce the fire piston. The exterior grooves make it look even better. And making the end cap removable is an excellent idea so you easily clean the cylinder out when it becomes necessary. Good job!

What are the lengths of the rods? How far does the inner extend into the tube? And, what is the clearance from tip to cap when the inner is all the way in?

Very awesome project that's basic on the lathe. I will try to make one this summer, huge thanks for making the video :)

two minor adjustments to your design would include: 1) move O-ring back a bit .. 1/8" or so should keep it away from ember, and
2) put a chamfer on the open end of the cylinder and also on the piston end of the knob, to reduce chance of pinches and to facilitate ability of pulling them apart easier. beyond that, excellent work.

That's a grate result man! :) Who needs matches or a lighter if you have, so cool thing. It's definitely a valuable asset of any survival kit.

Bom trabalho.
Obrigado por compartilhar.

The piston tends to bounce backwards when put in, is there a spring or something?

How much would you charge to make a piston for a Smith-Miller Hauler Truck? I can provide the dimension information along with some photos. Thank you for your time.

You should be tapping and threading with the job in the lathe. Use the tail stock to keep the taps and dies centered.

Why have the threaded end cap? Why not one piece for the cylinder?

Can you please share the solid works part file of both the parts.

I'm surprised the o-ring doesn't slide out of the groove when doing this. I have tried similar designs, but I find that the o-ring keeps sliding out of the groove.
