Mill shenanigans.

Playing around with angle of bevel on the lower slide edge. 5 degrees (shown on slide) made for too tall of a cut. 10 degrees (on the smaller rectangle test piece) was exactly what I was looking for. Not taking off too much material while giving the exact look I want.

And recorded an episode of "Why he do dat". Today's episode "Internet says you can cut slide serrations with a modified tap". It actually works!!! I could only find one spare tap that fit any of my collets though (M7-1.0).

Yes, I know my test piece is sticking out way too much from the vise. Better results with a new tap and a more rigid test piece.

What was the speed you were running on the mill? This is a great idea.... Would like to see the results with a new sharp tap.

Around 1000 rpm, the problem I had was finding a tap that would fit a collet, that one fit my 1/4 collet perfectly.

You’ll have to speak with my executor about that.

Calling her your executioner seems a bit harsh.

 

[Hoosier45]

Maybe you should have finished that bathroom before it got to that point?

On a roll, he is.

But then you would have to find someplace else to store your reloading supplies.
