I saw the design on a forum but can't remember which one or when I saw it. I still have to grind a slight helix angle but after that I think it should work well.




Getting it up to temp with a propane torch took a bit of time but it did work.

Shawn get yourself a couple of those white insulating fire bricks, and use them as a back stop to lay the part on, the cutter I made is 1.250 in diameter and I heated it up to hard silver soldering temp with a propane torch,
