Geoffrey Thorpe" The Sea Hawk at wow way d0t com wrote You are talking about grinding the OD of one of these bad boys? http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=8311 Yep/ That's the type. Make a widget to hold a small angle grinder on its side, with a pivot and a screw for advancing the grinder a bit at a time. Make it so that it will work clamped to a drill press table. Put the drill bit in the drill press, and push the bit up and down past the spinning grinder. Advance the grinder a bit at a time, and stop to check the progress often. It works. I've done it before. I am a bit "Rube Goldbergish" at times. That comes in handy, for a homebuilder. Of course, if you know someone who works in a machine shop, he could do the job in a tenth of the time. Where's the fun in that, though? -- Jim in NC I think you and Dan have had a little too much torpedo juice! 'scuse me, I don't think battery acid is good to drink. I prefer the good stuff: Pepsi™. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Torpedo juice was supposed to be alchol. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_Juice Don't you remember Buster Keaton drinking torpedo juice in the old Muscle Beach Party movies. The old torpedoes did burn alcohol. The running gag in McHale's Navy TV series and many movies is they would drink the stuff. If memory serves it wasn't safe to drink since it was wood alcohol. The problem with alcohol burning in torpedoes is you get wakes that can be seen visually and heard by hydrophones. That's why they went to batteries for electric drive. That and gyros could be electric instead of pressure driven. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
