Last time I looked thread milling cutters were priced the same as relics of the true cross. Have they made progress in the direction of affordable?

I cannot be reassured until I have seen this boiler.

A picture is required to make me feel better

After watching all those episodes of How it's Made I get terrible urges to set up my CNC mill with a whole mess of bits and HSS cutters screwed to the bed. Sadly the bodge works so well (touch wood) I have no need.

I don't actually know what blocked the nozzle in the first place. I always take the filament through a foam wiper to displace gunge and I use brass tweezers to remove the drool. It can't be swarf from the thread cutting because it seals below the thread.

A mystery.

Has it lifted from the bed? This could be ploughing???

John, you will have to come and shoot some ML sporting clays with me, first Sunday every month just outside Guildford

There is something deliciously pointable about a Baker. Did you see there is a signed copy of his book Remarks on Rifle Guns up for sale? I am trying very hard not to buy it but I am not strong...

Huh, call that a gun

**LINK**

Did that work?

I would be hugely inclined to bend it rather than slide it to get the grip. That looks a bit wobbly. OTOH, what do I know

If you were designing with 3D printing in mind would you not prefer a screw with a sharp helix around a cylindrical core? This, I presume, is to attach a 3D printed part to something with an existing thread...

You have to fish for clues... Is the chuck body out by the same? Is the error still .01" and inch further out? Do different size bars have the same error?

Well refined sperm whale braincase oil everytime.

I do have a little bottle of sperm whale oil, got it from some mad Norwegian, but I think it is only rendered fat not the good stuff

English guns have a brass pip foresight, when it goes missing they have a hole through to the bore so I think they were riveted on.

Don't envy me quite yet, there is a great lump of platinum touch hole that could blow out on the first shot

There is method in my madness, black duct tape will make a shiny barrel stand out against the sky better than any piddly little foresight ever could

Nock's breech, 12 gauge, friction free lock and a good drop. How can I lose? Very easily

Made by George Wallis of Hull, 1731-1803. It is a 12 bore flintlock which I shall be shooting in a sporting clay completion 1/10/17 so I have just over a week to replace the missing foresight and the parts started arriving today.

The plan is to fix on a small brass pip using as much black duct tape as I can possibly hope to justify

The M6x0.75 didn't look much like my idea of a bottoming tap but a quick whizz on the bench grinder brought it back to spec. The crossed thread is not exactly pretty but proof of the pudding is in the eating and I see no leaks...

Question is do I tool up to make some?

Mozart drills.

Made from Wolfgang carbide?

Yeah, yeah, but if the name of the game is remembering some way the flute orientation could possibly matter then I think I can claim a Brownie badge. There is no fun being a smart arse if there are no badges to collect you know

If you put the cutting edges horizontal you can apply a rigid sideways displacement to a wandering drill tip by running the cross slide up against it. This cuts a perfectly centred conical dent which guides the bit back on course as you release the pressure.

There is a notion that the lathe defines the centre line of the workpiece with the slowest moving material. It moves faster as you move away from the centre.

If there was any way to persuade the drill to follow that line it would be wonderful, but a Jobber bit has no cut in the centre so I thought it would shy away from that non-moving centre line.

Then I realised that there was no way the Jobber drill could tell it had shied because as far as it was concerned, it's own centre is always the slowest moving.

Then my brain imploded
