Very good machining! However, from experience, I can tell you that using a single set screw to lock onto the battery post will become loose after time especially with the body of the terminal extending to accomidate the wires (some what of a lever effect), using two set screws 90 degrees apart would have been ideal.

Overall, very good, you got some skills there dude keep it going.

I did it at a local machine shop I have access to. I used a manual mill to make it. I don't do this kind of thing for a living, but it is fun to make things like this on a mill.
