Made a new mounting post for my OXA QCTP. The one that came with the QCTP was too short IMHO. Couldn't thread it into the compound all of the way because it wouldn't leave enough left sticking above the tool post to fully engage the threads on the nut. Plus I'm adding a thrust bearing which requires even more length on the mounting post. I got a little carried away with the thread relief on the left end. Could have been a lot less.
I've always wanted to try cold blueing so I ordered a bottle of it to try on this.
