Default Re: I need a small job done...

A disertation as to how to do it at home without a mill ---------

I like to use a digital caliper for this - measure the smaller piece and zero the device. then, measure the larger piece. Take that number (the difference) and divide by 2. Then re-zero the calipers and set them to the answer above, and scribe a line off the ned all the way around. Then grab the coarse file and go to town! IT'll only take about a day or so....... you can check the scribe line by using a small machinist square.

or

You can phone a friend, ship them the parts and wahla! they're perfect......no questions asked - no worries!


I know Claus wasn't asking for all this BS but as a 'back yard enginner' - I had to explain how this works.....LOL
