Q. I have a drawing or thread dimensions for the part I need. Can you can make an adapter based on this information?
A. No. Our systems are largely automated and we only make adapters to connect actual devices for which we have complete thread specifications on file.
We cannot make a part based solely on a customer supplied drawing or thread measurements.
We recommend first exploring the full list of devices available in Build-An-Adapter. Our database is very comprehensive and encompasses the vast majority of astronomical devices, past and present.
Please be sure to also check the other brand names category, and lastly the generic devices category. Both categories are located at the end of the drop down menus on the first page.
Our search tool can also be used to locate a particular device by typing one or two keywords in the search field (at the top of every page on our site.) Do not enter a long description in the field as this will most likely prevent the search engine from finding any match.
If your particular device happens not to be listed at all please let us know and we will be happy to add it to our database if connecting information is available and is within our machining capacity.
But if none of these options would work we suggest contacting a general machine shop to make the part you need.
