^Amen Greg. I fear that all cognitive thought has been berated into submission world wide. All of our quorums have been infected and I can no longer trust what I hear. Be it from the pulpit, soap box, or the halls of justice. I am afraid that the time is nigh that we have to stand guard to...
Unless you are planning in reaming your raceway over size and either putting a sleeve on the bolt or buying an over size bolt you run the risk of creating an out of round raceway that will be a pain in the ass to take the slop out of. That's the whole purpose of making everything concentric to...
The tool deflection issue is a consideration but if you pre-drill like most do anyway I can fit a much stouter bar into the bore. We grind our own solid carbide boring bars at work, I think I will have to draw one up and trade a couple cases of beer for one and see how it works out.
I am sitting here looking at reamer options for a rifle I am planning when the though hit me "why not single point cut chambers on the CNC lathe instead of buying different reamers for everything I want to do". I know most smiths do not have cnc lathes but is there a reason that this wont work...
That made my morning. As a father of and coach or special needs kids I can honestly say they have a lot more to them than the world will ever expect. Jeff
How or why would you have half of a truing job done on an action. I always clean up the threads or most of the time open up and recut the threads of an action. In either case this increases the minor and major diameters of the barrel tenon required so thus if you reuse the old barrel you have...
As far as I know in a continuous cutting action like turning the life of the carbide insert will be shortened slightly because of the potential for heat stress. However I have been taught that in interrupted cutting operations like milling the shock of repeated heating and cooling will kill and...
I don't think that what you are tying to do would be worth it. Your major diameter will be the same with just a tiny bit of increase in your minor dia. If you are going to go through this much work why not increase to a #10 screw and clean everything up and have fresh steel to cut new threads...
+1 on MSC they aways get what I need to me within 2 days. I can't complain and after the excess shipping and handling that Enco tacks on I can most times get it cheaper from MSC too.
Have you ever thought about becoming a business consultant, I know that I just took your advice and will let it sit and ferment in my little pea brain. If you had posted something similar to that statement 7 years ago I would not be a starving old college student now. Jeff...............
My range has no shelter and never ending winds so tarps don't stand a chance. With that said, if I get a chance to go shooting and I can afford the ammo I am going weather be damned, the hottest I have gone is 123 and I lasted over 100 shots before I had to wimp out. I was the first one off...
No kidding on the tooling budget, I have been accumulating some as I have been in school so I have at least a basic inventory of end mills, shell mills with inserts, drills. etc.. I have written and tested programs for some of the products I want to bring to market with the machines that the...
