Jaegers 6" f/10 "GJD" OTA Construction - Knife-Edge Baffles (1st knife-edge measured - front)

 

Checking and verifying knife-edge opening in first baffle - 18 (Click to see an enlarged image.)

 

Measuring of the knife-edge opening in the first baffle gave a diameter of 2.55". Well within the proper size requirements per its position within the main tube along the focal plain rendered by the Jaegers 6" f/10 achromatic objective.

Now that I have covered the process for fabricating the first baffle, I will speed things along and apply the same principles and techniques in cutting the knife-edges in the remaining three baffles.
