As opposed to BA skoosh.

Depends, are we talking metric or imperial CHs?

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Most owners of RCHs that I've known are truly imperial.

"...but I don't have a lathe."

in this article, Bob describes how to chuck something like a 2"
washer (using a coupling) so that one can reduce the washer's
diameter.

I'm staring at a piece of 11/16" 4130 steel tubing, three inches long
which is supposed to slip into a piece of 3/4 OD tubing and act as an
inner sleeve. *this inner-sleeve-to-be needs to be turned just a
scooch so that it will fit.
It seems to me that there must be a simply way to do this; I
immediately go to to the most Rube Goldberg arrangement I can dream
up.

At the moment I'm thinking of turning down two *washers so that they
matches the ID of the work piece; that will keep the work centered on
a piece of threaded rod.
Open to other ideas - MIke

How much needs to be taken off?

Charles

* *He said a "scooch" which could mean "as much as can be removed using
emery cloth while watching the news" or "just enough so I don't need a
BFH to make it fit."


My first thought was to use a brake cylinder hone. They should
be available at most good auto parts stores or via the web. Mine
has three stones and it wouldn't fit into the rear cylinder of my
Pinto, so I removed one and repositioned the other two opposite
each other.

Then there is the West Virginia Tool and Die hone, a strip of emery
paper duct taped to a wooden dowel chucked into a drill.

Ok. I probably shouldn't post this but................

A few years back during a rather wild party at my house that same
topic came up. Keep in mind this is entirely "un scientific".... I had
5 girls donate samples. 2 blondes, one redhead, one brunette and an
asian, And I mean jet black hair... I am a machinist and I got out
my tenths mic and went to work. The one blonde was .0035, the other
one was.0032. Red head was right at .0039 and the asian was .0042.
The red one was by far the smoothest feeling. The smallest hair blonde
was a true blonde, the other one had a darker tint . Read into this as
you see fit but that was the results..

God why did I just disclose that ????

Looks reasonable, given similar experiments done decades ago.

What you really need to do, though, is to get a larger sample group.

Say, 25 of each type, and see what the ranges work out to. Then figure
standard deviation, etc.

Think of it as a Science Experiment(tm).

God why did I just disclose that ????

Just how wild *was* that party? And is the statute of limitations up yet?

A party is not officially wild unless police, fire department and
animal have to be called.
