Thanks guys! Ordered some to try Boyd. Jackie...I tried searching online for the lens you got, but come up with nothing. Probably have to visit a local eye glass shop that does work in-house.

Keep brake cleaner away from all borescopes! Without doubt, Hawkeye is the only route if you care to see detail.

Thanks guys! What is the eyepiece OD of a Valdada? I don't have one yet...

What is TSO? And you used +3.25 reading glasses for the lens? Glass?

Anyone using a booster on a Valdada 36x? If what one and how well does it work?

This is what I use...

I too like using a micro 100 boring bar for the crown. It's sharp and makes a super finish. I use a 3/8" shank and the shortest bore depth they make. I just simply angle the tool post so it makes roughly a 45 degree angle for my recessed crown. They also make nice tenon counter bore and...

Sounds good...thanks. I never saw one that came plain like that...usually fully machined.

He is not pushing it with a dead center. Just pushing with a flat surface and the reamer simply follows the perfect bored hole. I run a similar set up with similar results and my tailstock sits high. When the needle on the DTI doesn't budge after reaming...something must be straight, lol.

Looks pretty ragged and not very clean letters?

Sounds like iconel 718 is in order... LOL

Soft stuff...less teeth. Hard stuff...more teeth.

Not sure what handsaw you use, but I have a HF and use their super cut bi metal blades. Make sure you get the USA made ones...they last pretty decent. Not sure tooth count, but are like 12-14 maybe.

Got it...I just never heard the term "sliding center".

Can you explain more on the above statement?

Make a spider on inboard side as close to spindle as possible and another on outboard side.

Why not can the Lyman and get a Chargemaster?
