I believe I have some S7 1/4" stock sitting around. You probly do too, though...Pictures? Generally an easy job ....I have a lathe & 30 plus years as a tool maker....
Holy Smokes!!! How many dish soap tops have you worn out before the bottle was empty?Can I hight jack just long enough to ask you a question?
How har would it be to mill(?) A metal version of a dish soap nozzle?

Like the red and white bit on this bottle?
No I have this kinda silly idea and having a metal nozzle would bring my idea all together.Holy Smokes!!! How many dish soap tops have you worn out before the bottle was empty?
Is this for your garden hose?
A) some one needs to draw up the parts using a 3D C.A.D. (computer aided drafting) ..... a 3D solid modelCan I hight jack just long enough to ask you a question?

I have made a lot of punches out of S7I believe I have some S7 1/4" stock sitting around. You probly do too, though...
Now I’m becoming interested in soap. What is this substance, and what is it used for?I was interested in the falling block pistol. Now I'm interested in the soap nozzle. This thread delivers.
When I make/fix firing pins, if they are complicated in nature, I've milled the face flush, drilled appropriate size hole, and press fit a hardened roll pin. Round it off on the grinder, then polish.Pictures? Generally an easy job ....I have a lathe & 30 plus years as a tool maker....
Hoped you would chime in, will get some pics to you. May take a day or so. Thanks!Pictures? Generally an easy job ....I have a lathe & 30 plus years as a tool maker....
I only disagree if it's a rimfire.When I make/fix firing pins, if they are complicated in nature, I've milled the face flush, drilled appropriate size hole, and press fit a hardened roll pin. Round it off on the grinder, then polish.
Agree? Disagree?
With rimfire, I machine it. Typically they are flat.I only disagree if it's a rimfire.
Otherwise, as long as you are satisfied with the alloy and condition of the pin used, then it seems like a good fix.
CAD is where the cost will be.A) some one needs to draw up the parts using a 3D C.A.D. (computer aided drafting) ..... a 3D solid model
B) using edgeworks or MASTERCAM, post process the model, that is a fancy term for define tools & tool path the parts. This will tell the Cnc machine where to move to to create the part.
C) load the program up in a VMC (with a 4th axis) ....vertical machine center with a rotary head.....I.E the 4th axis.....
Mount the work piece, set the tools, press cycle start......
This will be very expensive......
If you can a 3d file on a site for 3D printing (like thingaverse) .....you can grab it for free, send it off to someone with a powder metal 3D printer type machine.
What is the purpose of this....a little more information and I can possibly better help
All very useful info thank you. I don't want to give up too much detail on it since it's a little project of mine that may one day lead to a patent and product to bring to market.A) some one needs to draw up the parts using a 3D C.A.D. (computer aided drafting) ..... a 3D solid model

For most center fire applications, generally I use drill rod (oil hardening) and simply hardening the ends or use a ½ hard steal like 4140 half hard or shoulder bolts.....and don't bother to hardenWhen I make/fix firing pins, if they are complicated in nature, I've milled the face flush, drilled appropriate size hole, and press fit a hardened roll pin. Round it off on the grinder, then polish.
Agree? Disagree?
You need to get a non disclosure non complete from all parties so you can discuss your application or your project may not come out........All very useful info thank you. I don't want to give up too much detail on it since it's a little project of mine that may one day lead to a patent and product to bring to market.
So please forgive my paranoia.
