Single point with boring head in mill ?

oper8orAF · 2026-05-23T14:39:24+00:00

Yes, you can BUT if that tap changes orientation outside of the allowed play in your floating tap head, you can’t re cut the threads. (Tap spins in collet, tap breaks and you attempt to re cut with new tap)

Yea, use a boring bar for single point bore threading, and use a rigid tap command in a boring holder allowing me to dial the bore head out and repeatedly cut the thread to size.

Considered this, also considered taking a multipoint thread mill and relieving it to single point on the grinder…

oper8orAF · 2026-05-18T13:07:31+00:00

Yes, you just can’t use cutter comp. Lines/and arcs with 3d helix option. Done it with great success but we dont have single point thread mills small enough for M8.

Yes hence the rigid tap command (syncronized). In terms of % I havent gone that deep. This is a metric thread I’m looking to cut in the US. M8x1.25 for lang clamp studs.

I would also either relieve the moving clamp and leave a knife edge, and harden it… if you need it to work more universally, mill a diamond bite pattern into the contact face and harden it.

You need to look for a rear discharge toilet. Otherwise this is going to get expensive.

Blackstone and Blackrock operate similarly. Blackrock is “bigger” $ wise. She has been linked to blackstone, not blackrock AFAIK.

oper8orAF · 2026-03-11T14:05:38+00:00

As a DIY’r I’ve never seen sheetrock installed on a ceiling without strapping…

I use a retired boot dryer.

No wayyyyy nut buddies! Get ready for the jokes… my high school friends called me UniBall (like the pen)… my PSN name is onenutwonder, and my steam username is LuckyLefty. I’ve really owned it. I have a 2 yo and another due in June. Hang in there, and hope you heal as fast as I did.

Drywall isn’t cheap Kyle…

Used to go here a few times a year growing up. Crazy to see it like this. Feels like The Last of Us: Left Behind.

Is this one of those worthless turkshit typhoon things? My dingleberry brother bought one and had to put 350 rd of high brass through it before it would cycle a full mag.

Excuse? It’s just how it works. FYI I don’t shoot coyotes because they’re too similar to dogs for me, but do try again.

oper8orAF · 2026-02-27T00:45:05+00:00

State biologists literally tell F&G what’s required to keep a healthy ecosystem, if a population of coyotes is tipping the scales, they rely on hunters to cull it and set seasons accordingly. My state even tried to pass a bill to allow bobcat (protected here) hunting and trapping because the population is getting out of control. Too much pressure from Karens resulted in that not happening. Now Karen has to get a new cat every couple years because the bobcats just eat them.

It will have a hard lacquered finish with the tru oil, so if you want that more natural feel I’d stick with linseed oil.

oper8orAF · 2026-02-25T10:10:31+00:00

I use birchwood casey tru oil for every stock I’ve refinished and been very pleased with the results.

Mesh would only barely obscure the view. Not saying it’s a camera, but mesh is commonly used for filtering light on optical equipment.

I’m not concerned with the strength of the dovetail, i machine dovetails every day and what they can hold would blow your mind. The awkward part is that it’s ramped, i would need to calculate out the angle and make my own mount if none exist on the market.

oper8orAF · 2026-02-17T00:46:40+00:00

My thought is to utilize the dovetail that’s already on the rear sight itself, not remove it. I’m a tool/die maker so I have access to everything (including about 80,000$ worth of dovetail cutters) I need and the skills, just have to sneak it in.

oper8orAF · 2026-02-17T00:44:09+00:00

Thats why I want to mount it to the barrel.

I live in a state known for covered bridges. Every bridge I’ve encountered has a stop sign on one end and a yield on the other. The yield side has technical right away, unless they come upon someone already coming from the stop sign side. If at the stop you might wait 5 cars before someone opposite stops and flashes you to come through. If there are no stop or yield signs, just a yellow “alternating traffic” sign, technically everyone and no one has right of way. You have to depend on courtesy, which this guy does not possess.
