Just curious, was the bagpipe maker Hugh MacPherson? Hugh made my first set of pipes.

Thread: Insert for internal ACME thread?
19/11/2020 19:09:11

Just grind a tool out of high speed steel and cut the thread. This was one of the first jobs I did in my apprenticeship. Somewhat intimidating at first, but really not that difficult and a great learning experience.

Set your tool a frogs hair above center, be sure it is absolutely sharp, use as big a bar as possible and maybe sloww your machine down a wee bit.

Thread: Is a tool & cutter grinder worth having?
10/11/2017 20:39:46

If you are running a milling machine and using larger cutters,ie greater than 3/8" or using broaches a tool and cutter grinder is a wise investment. IMO

Thread: Chucks

Four jaw is much safer, way harder for workpiece to come out of the chuck! Take only a wee bit longer to setmup,but gives a much more secure and accurate setup.

Silver solder onto mild steel shank. Make sure everything is clean and fits reasonably well.

Might be worth trying a chemical finger warmer like skiers use. Instead of putting it on your fingers, try placing it near an artery upstream of your fingers.

I think you might be looking for what we call Prussian Blue in North America.

Cheers.

Water jet cut might be a little nicer, less distortion etc.
