while waiting for my cannon barrel to be blued, I embarked on another project.
Its one of those dove tail type Knurlers
got the body done and the two slides ...really happy with that
the shaft called for left hand and right hand threads...first time doing that on the lathe and I am happy with result...really really happy..threads both internal and external look and measure excellently
can any one recall my first attempt at making a fly cutter and Dave J politely informed me that I had it wrong..until I told him it was a left handed one
well i have done it again...the shaft was supposed to have LH thread at top and Rh at bottom...While I was standing on may head (as one does when they are having a seniors moment) I made rh at top and lh at bottom.
this of course means that to apply pressure for the dovetail cutters to leave their mark I will have to turn adjusting nut anticlockwise
what do i do...make a new one or live with it:D:D:D
