Forgive me for asking but why not tap the blank first and then turn the OD on a screwed mandrel so the OD was the last bit to machine so no marks ? JS. |

John, you are forgiven! :beer: I don't particularly like arbors and you get to cut another set of threads on the arbor, other than that, I was in a different :coffee: forest, I am also right minded, left handed. I will file that idea for reference. Cliff :coffee: |

Ower Gert says i was born idle but let me tell you that you have to work hard to achieve that state. :lol: JS. |

Ohh nice fitting adaptor thingey.. I am certain the Ford drivers will love that! They have come a LONG way since the late 70s. I sure wish I could go back about 7 or 8 years and re-do some of the car things I did back then with the things I know now! :doh: Can you say -20 radiator lines? :lol: |
