--- Quote from: Trion on March 01, 2011, 11:02:24 AM ---Again very nicely done! How did you treat the HSS when bending? Did you bend it first, then heat treat and quench? --- End quote --- Hi Trion Just heat it up and bend it , then i dumped it in water :dremel: ,,, NOT THE CORRECT WAY but it works :ddb: Rob |

Yer an inspiration Rob; I'm a'luvin' this thread! :beer: I noticed in the pic of the finished 2-piece bronze nut that there are 2 allen setscrews and 2 SHCS's. Is this how the backlash is adjusted? The 2 setscrews are adjusted to spread the pieces apart to take out the slack then the SHCS's are locked down to hold it? Milton |

Thanks for the compliments Lads :beer: And yes your both spot on :thumbup: :med: :D Cheers Rob |
