I use a 12x36 Grizzly and don't have chatter problems with threads. Sharp bit, lots of oil and light cuts should help big time. Keep tool and tenon overhang at a minimum...
I hear you! I ordered something awhile ago and it came last week. NOT what I ordered! I called to return it and have yet to get a call back with return instructions and what.they are.going to do in regards to getting me the right item. The girls taking orders really need to know more about...
Well, if your order is in any machining stages, this is where the charge comes from. At this point, it costs money to make changes, depending where its at and/or how they do their machining operations. Understandable in my book...
I fixed a Vias brake install that was done buy, an "in business" gunsmith and it was a pitiful job. The threads where so undersized that the brake slipped over the first three threads before catching! The tenon shoulder was not square. The brake had gap when tight. The OD was barely touched...
.020 over is optimum for clearance and accuracy. .010 over is .005 per side...that pretty close. You might need to use some copper cleaner on your brake if its not absolutely perfect. lol. I use a Grizzly carbide shank boring bar to bore all mine. The min bore on it is .236 and works pretty...
I don't care for KG stuff. Boretech carbon cleaner for carbon, Wipeout +accelerator for copper. TM works well on copper too. Run some Iosso down in between. After cleaned, run a patch of 50/50 mix of Hoppes and Kroil down. Run a dry patch or two before shooting. Also, swab out your chamber...
Jason, I got the same two Noga bases...they are great. Both are outfitted with Interapids...very nice stuff. I had self control last night and ordered nothing, lol. Had I known earlier in the day, I'm sure I would have found something to order...
Keep an eye on your local craigslist. Get a smartphone app and set up a couple alerts for what you are looking for. A couple months ago I picked up a Interapid 312b-3 DTI with box for $80 cash. Couldn't believe it till I saw it. It works perfect. Before that, I picked up a B&S 50 millionth...
Picked up a very nice Bison 6-1/4" Set Tru 3 Jaw off eBay with a D1-4 back plate. Got it for $450 plus $12 shipping! Its used and in great condition. This one was made in Poland. I tore it all down and cleaned and lubed it. Got it all set up and dialed in. Dialing it in was quick and super...
The new GM top cleaner is garbage. If you can find the older stuff, it works. Bore tech carbon cleaner works pretty good. I find that a crown with a smooth finish cleans up very easy. I cut with a sharp HSS bit at high speed. Makes a real nice finish...
