Another fine example of swarfless machining, however, I did spot a few flakes in a couple of the pics . . BTW, the hand is way too clean . Are the printed soft jaws split to clamp the part or what holds the part in them? Also, what's the procedure for using the Interapid to pick up a center punch mark? Good to see you keeping busy and back on the build. Cletus
Never knew that sintered material ever existed. Did you get it from a metal supplier or did you cannibalize it from something else?Vince
Dave, excellent work. Those oilers really look nice. Is Roland selling those castings? I'd like a few for my Pacific build.Also, could you give some details on the thread milling? I think you are using BobCam, I've been wanting to do a bit of thread milling myself. What kind of tool path are you using?maury
Nice work.For the diagonal plugged hole, why not a straight hole from the bottom that intersects both the slanted passage and the main cross passage?If you want 1/16-NPT threads to be thread milled, a tool from onlinecarbide.com is not expensive.
