PeterE, This is the bluing I use. It is a liquid or cream. I apply it with a q-tip. It works instantly. You may go over old work and it will blend in well. The cream is of a little lighter shade. Then a light wipe of gun oil. Do not know about the shipping. If I can help contact me. srmckuhen@att.net. http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/metal-prep-coloring/metal-bluing/liquid-cold-bluing-chemicals/formula-44-40-instant-gun-blue-prod1112.aspx Stefang, I followed your Bonelle T&CG build because of the shaper work. I have since completed my own Bonelle using an Atlas shaper and a Rhodes slotter. I have tried carbide bits but always break them because of the interrupted cuts. Several months ago there was a Rhodes 3 1/2 x 7 shaper and 3 slotter machine complete with vise, rotary table and all other fixtures and attachments on EBay. I tried to bid just to have all the extras but it was soon out of my budget. Some one bought it, I hope he is wise enough to keep it complete. Thank you for the shaper pictures. I can imagine the swoosh of the ram. Nice work, well done. |

I got a real tool&cutter grinder that doubles as a small surface grinder for myself :) --- Quote --- I have tried carbide bits but always break them because of the interrupted cuts. --- End quote --- You can use softer carbide grades on the shaper and also lathe inserts for interrupted cuts. But I get the best results with high speed steel... A slotter would be a nice addition to the shop, but floor space is precious :D Stefan |

Thanks everyone about tips on the cold blue. Due to its originally intended use I think it is best to get it close to where I live. /Peter |
