instead of a pin why not mill the fins a tad flater ? sure seems like it would be easier to index in :msp_unsure:

Top Secret!......Hahahahahaha!......Is it rocket science??? NO! Pictures you say!
Base plate.......Remember there's more than one way to skin a cat!......and the hard work is getting things true on the holding fixture.
Nice work Dennis. What does your cutting tool look like? Must be pretty long.
Will, I'm not sure you can ask another man that question.... Seems inappropriate :hmm3grin2orange:
LOL, that was quick!! Was wondering who would be the first.
FYI Dennis I'm not talking about your Johnson.

Sure. . . Ya say that now.
I envision a boring bar of sorts for that type work. I know a lot of machinists make their own tooling, including boring bars.
The local shop here said they'd do 11" deep, before it gets sketchy.
do you guys know about the elastic band trick?
The boring bars that I have won't cut the end of the bore though.
If your boring bar is sticking out too far and you start to chatter, wrapping an elastic band around the base may absorb some of the chatter.
Make ya one then mang. . . Should be fairly straight forward. If you're an insert type guy, ya make a boring bar with an end that the insert will faced forward. Cut here, grind there, drill and tap, done.
I'm sure Nik could hook ya up with ideas, or a tool he already has for cutting a dead-end.
Wow, I must have a dirty mind. I was thinking elastic band around balls till they fall off...lol...

that kinda confuses me, I'd like to see a pic. All bbars have to be end cutting or you couldn't bore at all. Most have a 5 degree lead angle but they can be bought with no lead angle. Those are usually used in boring heads and not on a lathe. Now if he meant his boring head can not face, most can't.
I'm not a machinist (I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), but I have a half assed idea of the boring bars (kind'a). Most are for cutting the side of the bore, no?
I was saying, if the HSS bit (or insert) couldn't be positioned to cut the dead-end of the bore, a guy could make one where all the angles were right to do it.
I really regret not taking metal shop in High School, I took wood shop instead. I'm playing catch-up now with milling and turning. I sub to a few Tube channels of some dang good machinists, and I'm picking up a lot.
Does what I'm saying make sense or am I full of ####?
