Thanks for the tip. I still have some Permatex left (30 years old) I'd like to try your option. While you are at the art shop, get some leaded white oil paint. Add this to EP gearbox oil and it makes for a good lube when thread forming.
I ended up brazing carbide tips to a flattened bit of tube with a wooden handle. As I was new to scraping, I ended up making several of them and each has its own use. There is enough Youtube clips on scraping but I do have a good CD with the process discussed. If anyone wants, I can try and shrink it for emailing. Cheers Wallace. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
