I plan on grinding some HSS for the cleaning up of Rem 700 bolt faces, and was wondering if any of you guys could post some pics of the ones you have custom ground. I appreciate any responses and pics. Thanks!

I sure like the ability of being able to cut variety of threads with the partial profile insert. Cheaper is good for me..

Thanks for the honest reply. I have not seen the difference in a "hunting" rifle between the two methods, but agree on the single point method being the best way to true up a action in regards to the receiver thread relationship with the center of the raceway. Soooo many variables in this game...

I have all the bushings, taps, cutters and etc..from Kiff. I prefer to single pointing everything over the other way. I was just wondering on the specs of the mandrel, is it basically just a piece of drill rod turned, ground and polished to tighter than normal spec +.000/-.001 per foot? What...

What are the differences you have seen in accuracy between the two systems?

Jackie, Don't know if it's true but I heard that the newest brass is not going to be the norm, and that it will go back to the original specs as far as the neck thickness??

Out of curiosity, does any body know what Dave's 12" x 1/2" truing mandrel is made of and the tolerances?? Hardness?? I know I can give Kiff a call but was wondering if anybody else already knew.

I would go .272 neck, sometimes the .271 could be a little tight on certain lots of Lapua brass. Maybe Mike Bryant will chime in, I know he has a reamer with a .271 neck (or maybe he usue a .271 neck reamer after chambering with a tight neck chamber reamer)

Mike, Thanks to you, I check ALL of my bedding jobs with an indicator. It will definitely point out a stress problem that otherwise would be pretty undetectable without.

Eisen 1440EV

There are guys on here with a lot more experience than me, but using the cross slide at zero and feeding with the compound works for a real nice thread fit. I really like good sharp HSS (http://www.arwarnerco.com/) for a beautiful CUT with no inclusions or burrs. Mikes products are really...

Sorry for your loss Jackie, prayers sent..

Those are some of the nicest looking threads I have seen

Wonder how a white coated barrel would do vs. the polished??

Kroil is simply a very good penetrating oil. It creeps very well. It does not dissolve anything, but does get under everything and helps lift the carbon and etc. to ease in cleaning.

Ditto on the brake with a young hunter. He fires that rifle once without proper hearing protection he is liable to want nothing to do with a rifle for a long time. Even worse is the damage done to his hearing. IMO, reduced factory loads or maybe you know somebody that could work up a mild load...

The lathe is a Eisen 14x40 w/VFD and weighs 2400lbs w/ a cast iron base. I am getting vibration that I can feel at about 1000 rpm and above (max 2500rpm) The lathe is level according to my machinist level .0002"/10in. I did not feel this vibration until I put on my 8" set tru chuck that...

Those that are using inserted carbide tooling for barreling, what size radius tips do you like and why? Also, are most using positive rake for everything gun related?

You'll be just fine Butch, sounds like you have some good Doc's taking care of you. Anybody that gets that many tests will find something wrong with them...ughhh, I hate hospitals, but we do need to take of ourselves!
