Jerry,The valve stems are to be 0.112" and .75" overall length, and .280" at the head.Do I understand you to say that the size of the stock to be turned is large? Larger than the final size of .280?And, you do not support the outboard end of the valve while machining, relying on a large diameter to keep it from flexing while turning??I am afraid I don't understand your method.Mosey
