How to's / Circlip groove
« Last post by John Rudd on March 19, 2024, 10:47:38 AM »I need to machine a circlip groove in a 3mm silver steel shaft for some circlips.
Circlips themselves are 0.6-0.7mm thick and are 2.3mm.
So to the collective, I put it to you, what’s the best way to tackle this?
I tried an abrasive disc ( my fav method.) in my Dremellookalike but the end brg is knackered so it wobbles like a jelly….I tried Stew Harts method using a slit saw….hmmmm some erroneous noises made me abandon that idea…
Silver steel doesn’t machine like EN1a sadly….so open to suggestions please….
What works for you?
