I have done that on The Little Monster, but much smaller stuff. It may actually be easier to do the torx, each "rib" is narrower, and would tend to concentrate the swaging force with fewer lbs from the tailstock. Start with say 1065, and harden them after forming. A2 as shipped might also be good, its easy to work before hardening, or has been for me. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's > most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
