Hi Ralph,
I do not have the small boring bar you use in the video. Do you have a close up pic of it and some descriptions on how to grind one? I've not done any grinding before but keen to learn.

Regards,
Wong

Hi Wong  :wave:


I have no close ups at this time but I have found this...



http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-8-SHANK-PARTING-TOOL-SMALL-BLADE-SUIT-MYFORD-ML7-/370237627527?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5633e1dc87

It is the same as the one I think you are referring to?  It's a parting tool and works quite well.


If you want to grind one up it shouldn't be too hard.... make it thin (~1.5mm) and flat on the top (for cutting brass). just make sure that it is set exactly to centre height before using it.

You could even grind a radius on the tip to allow O rings to be fitted neater?



Hope all this helps?  It's late here now so am quite sleepy... If you require any more info just ask  :thumbup:








Ralph.

Thanks Ralph.  I would like to try the Q-Cut.  Trying to find one that I can use on the Sherline.

I've finished my 1st torch.  It was a recovery from a piece I was about to add to my scrap pile.  Was trying knurling but result not fantastic.  More practice needed.  Pics attached.

Regards,
Wong

wongster:
Thanks Rob.  Learn a lot from this little project; boring, threading, and attempted knurling.  Hope the next piece will be better.

Regards,
Wong
