First the cone and the body are cut out of a solid block of premium metal independently. This gives us the overall shape of the product and parts we can now work with.
Once we have the cone and the body, we thread each of them to screw the solid pieces of premium metal together. The fit is already impressively snug, for most manufacturers this would be “good enough.” But, for Modern Fuel, we want to ensure the product is flawless.
With the full product assembled, we run the piece through the lathe at an extremely high speed. This gives the metal a smooth finish and mates the cone and body so they appear as a single unit. This process results in a product that is completely unique. No cone will perfectly fit the body like the two mated together in the production process.
Finally, the product has its custom interior parts that fit the body perfectly added and tightened. Then, your unique product is hand-finished, inspected to exacting standards, and packaged up.
