some one better tell him what angle the threat should be:, 50, 55 ,or 60 degree--on lenses it is not all the same - In 7x10minilathe@yahoogroups.com, Michael C...
They sell carbides on ebay for brake machining, so I would think they use the same thing for the flywheels. Both types of cast seem to end up with the blued...
I'm about finished with my first project, which is a simple setup for tramming my mini-mill. I've machined a 1/2" bar to fit in my collet, and am almost done...
So I've got my plans for a second project, something that will be a good test of my skills with these tools. I want to reproduce a mineature Saturn 5 rocket...
... It might be little easyer if you "cheat" just a little and make it a bit under size. Allow for a 3 cornered -saw- file to smoth it down. That is leave it...

I knurled for the first time today. I used the Scissors knurler from LMS. It was easy to do. Will it wear off? I did it to 3/4" 6061 Aluminum. It is going...
