Thread: Making or Buying a Miniature Counterbore

13/03/2014 18:26:26

I have a lot of holes in styrene mouldings to counterbore to a depth of 0.070"

The holes are currently a blind 1/16" and need counterboring out to 0.1098" (7/64" and as its a fragile injection moulding that is to be done it needs to be a not very aggressive cut.

If I were working in something a bit larger then a bought counterbore would be the way to go. For these models (and there are a lot to do) a small version that picked up on the pilot hole to ensure the larger hole is concentric would be ideal

Trouble is I have no idea where to buy such an item or how to make one

Suggestions please?

Thread: Profile Lathe Tool

26/11/2012 22:48:07

My main interest is 7mm scale model railways. An upcoming project is going to need a load of identical wheels made.

I'd like to get a lathe tool ground/lasered/EDM'd to the profile I need.

Can anyone point me to a company that could do that for me. I've tried googling and its not really got me anywhere

Thanks in anticiaptation

Paul
