Yes - and it really isn't that great. the cutter edge isn't on the center line of the spindle.. I had to tweek the angle of the tool so that it cut the hex in the right orientation. I am actually surprised it worked as well as it did.
(or who knows - maybe it is why it did work as well as it did. :) ) I hope to find or sharpen a decent tool to try andy's tapered polygon this weekend. (I also think I could thread it... why? no clue. But why stop now..) sam On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 9:57 AM Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thursday 12 March 2020 10:26:35 Sam Sokolik wrote: > > > Now with rotatable polygon..
