[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 12377, member: 782"] I can relate to machine work , I love to build things , this morning it is raining and the boat is in the shop getting some welding done , I can weld aluminum , but the spots are where I am going to have to look at the welds alot and I don't like looking at ugly , so I am out in the garage prepping some jobs to do and needed a 7/8 hole saw , but the set screw from the mandel was missing out the arbor , have got a a few arbors but only one that will work with a saw so small diameter , so armed with ESPN fishing on TV and a pot of coffee , I used a set screw I had and cut it in half of length , rethreaded the arbor to 1/4 28 , but needed a bottoming tap , which I couldn't find to do the job right and have the set screw recess into the arbor to allow the saw to fit over it , found a few starter 1/4 28's taps so I grinded the last few threads off and made a bottom tap , which got me to a couple of thousandths , so still had to grind a bit off the flat spot of the bit where the set screw impacts , but got it to work , could have easily went to Home Depot on this Sunday morning , stop and got some fresh donuts and coffee , read the paper in the time it took to do it , it exceeded the cost of what it was worth , but it was a satisfying accomplishment while passing the time watching the Shark Chalange --------Perry I see in the 'not too far off furtue' you will probally be able to put a "part "and a chuck of material into a microwave oven looking thing and it will scan and duplicate it while you get a drink [/QUOTE]
