Will do Tom. Thanks for the tip.

I tackled the slot today which has a couple of tight tolerance dimensions. I'm happy to say I didn't screw it up.

That's always a good feeling!

Got the holes drilled and counter-bored. I even got the counter-bores on the correct side of the part.
Next is to get rid of those corners and cut some angles.

Looks great Ed!
I can't tell from the pic, but be sure the knurls are slightly chamfered before trying it out. Otherwise, they may dig into the work.

Now that I think of it, those knurls are not chamfered and are actually meant for my cut knurling tool project I may tackle some day. I might have grabbed the wrong knurls
Anyway, what TPI knurls do you use the most? The ones I've got on the tool are pretty fine so, since I'm doing a McMaster order, I think I'll get some properly chamfered knurls.
Ed
EDIT: those knurls were not meant for my cut knurling tool project. I got them from McMaster for this project. Now I'm wondering about a source for the beveled edge knurls. They seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth.

Darn you, Ed, now I have to finish mine.
