Rob, Very nice screw and matching nut. :thumbup: Presume it's ACME? How did you grind your tool? Nick |
| Rob.Wilson:
Cheers lads :thumbup: Spot on Nick ,, it is 5/8 ACME ,,,,,,,,, I use the bench grinder and a screw cutting tool gage ,,, it is easier to start with a length of tool steel first as this makes it easier to hold when grinding .... grinding one side at a time ,, with the tool steel not in the bar . Then put the tool steel in the bar and lock it up , then you can use the bar as a reference . Then grinned the other side ,, and cut off the bit you need ,,, i use the good old dremel :dremel: Thought i would stick this in ,,,,,,,, just because the HSS comes straight ,,,, it dose not have to stay that way , just heat it up and bend it to suit the job in hand :med: Had a leisurely hour in the shop tonight and finished off me nut :) and made a new bush for the outer end of the screw Rob |
| saw:
Very nice Rob. :thumbup: |
| Trion:
Again very nicely done! How did you treat the HSS when bending? Did you bend it first, then heat treat and quench? |
| NickG:
Great, appreciate you taking the time to show me that. Thanks. :thumbup: Nick |
