I'm hopeing to have them done by the end of next week. i use a cnc mill at work and it has been taken up with work jobs a lot so i have not been able to use it a whole lot. but nex week it should be open and i can finish the milling and then throwthem in the heat oven. I have a lot milled allready but not all 20 so not much longer. I'm going to see if the boss will let me program and use the 9 axes cnc mill to do the next lot of these so i can just load the bar stock and let her run. I would have to aproch it like a customer though as that mill is in very high demand so i would have to pay for time on it.

Man you work in a cool place. :) Where I work it's just rows of cubes and telephones (though with lots of cute wimmen tucked into em).
 
Maybe it's just me, but how exactly is this tool used? I'm familiar with typical center scribes, but I'm unsure how this tool is adjusted.
 
The flat of the round scribe body lays on your work surface.

The carbide cutter is rotated to adjust the cutting tip up or down to your desired height and tightened via the screw.

You lay your steel flat on the work surface next to the scribe, and draw the scribe/cutter tip against the edge of the steel, scribing a line at whatever height you set the cutter to.

Ok, makes sense now.

I'll take one. Please add me to the list JT.
 
sorry guys the mill got taken over again. but any day it should be done. its making some ultrasonic roller sealers for a candy company.

Extreme newb here...what exactly does this do for you?
 
What Dave said, and in grinding to the lines that you scribed, you ensure that your ground cutting edge is centered in the blade and not wavy or swayed to one side.

Ok i was waiting to get them all milled and then do one batch of heat treating but the mill wont be open till like tuesday the earleyest. so what i'm going to do is try and heat treat today the ones i have allready milled. that way i can start shipping them out.
 
Not sure if I am on the list but if not put me on let me know when to send the money
