Yup

I've given this one a wide birth.

The first time the tool deformed it would have gone in the trash or the calipers would have come out and we'd have a nice replacement tool steel tip.

That tool needs to push instead of turn, that would solve a lot of headaches

That's what I'm trying to get done. Just need to find someone with a lathe.

I agree it would be a lot better if it pushed like an arbor press but the screwing makes it easy to make sure the pin is lined up right before the final push. Just finished two tune ups.

I know someone with a Lathe here on the forum. Can you guess who it is?

I bet there are quite a few. I mean here in New Orleans lol

That said, if anyone here wants to mill one for me, I have money and stuff to trade!

Thought I'd add a shot of my tool. I used a dremel to file the tip back straight after the running issues noted aboveout.

I started a new thread when I did this.

Just sayin'
