So I finished the brake actuator screw today by going to my friend Rollie's shop and having him use his ball turner to cut the 7mm radius on the end. Then back to my shop, I remounted the collet closer mechanism on the lathe to cut the thread relief groove and cut down the threaded end to length (getting rid of the center hole used for single point threading) and then to the milling machine to mill the flats. Done.
