I appreciate the offer Ken but I have already done the lathe work and was looking forward to getting in some practice myself with my dividing head. It's been awhile. I was actually setting it up on the mill when my buddy Sean called me and asked if I would be interested in getting a furnace....  

The one thing I will have to work around is the fact that I don't have a 10mm broach. I have all kinds of imperial broaches, but not one metric.  

I bought a second slug of round stock to make a bushing for the 3/8" broach to start with, and then will open it up to 10mm using my "ArmStrong" shaper. (Mill quill and a square tool bit.) That's been the plan anyway.

Good excuse for me to hide out in the basement this weekend.
