Does anyone have experience with the Acute Sharpening System, from the folks who make the Tangential Tool Holder?

I don't think you want what is inside the column to be solid.
You want whatever is in there to move and absorb the vibrations.
Think solid...

Coming along nicely, Sid.
Looking forward to seeing it together and steaming, in punk style

The “robotic assist” doesn’t mean the robot is cutting. In my case the “robot” was essentially a big CMM machine that guided the tools for precise...

I'm 63, and lived with a trashed-and-getting-worse-every-day knee and hip for 20+ years.
Got tired of not doing things because I hurt all the t...

I had a total knee replacement with robotic assist on Sept 4, 2020... following a hip replacement on June 25, 2020, also with robotic assist.

If you take a look at the second image I added of the bushing, there's no need to worry about cracks when its torqued... there are "cracks"...

Aah, finally got it... here's your Remington/Mauser bushing.... 1.25" long
OD: 1.072", 1.15" of it turned down to 1-1/16" and...

The threaded tenon portion into the Remington 700 action is 1-1/16" in diameter and 1.15" long.
Cutting 16 pitch (sharp) threads into...

[DrMike]

The ID threads on the bushing don’t have to be any particular, available thread, they just have to fit the threads on the tenon. Once you single point...

[DrMike]

I thought you were single pointing the threads?
If you are single pointing, what difference does it make how expensive the tap is?

[DrMike]

Here is the result of Tim's suggestion in post #14 (with bushing the same length as the threaded portion)

Nowhere here do I see the size of the bore, or more importantly, the diameter of the chamber. All we have is an outside diameter of 1-1/16" and...

"Pistol grip" can be either be like that on a Colt SAA or a Colt 1911. Since a 1911 grip is pretty straightforward, I'm assuming you are having...

I have a fairly weak magnet that is on the DP.... with a ball chain connecting it to the key.
When it’s parked, the key is on the magnet. No chips...

[DrMike]

There was really nothing to catch.

The gear module is 1/DP, so a module of 2 mm/tooth is the same as a diametral pitch (DP) of 25.4 (mm/in)/(2mm/tooth)...

[DrMike]

The center distance between two gears is
C = (D_G + D_P)/2
where D_G and D_P are the pitch diameters of the gear and pinion.

Yes, I am interested in building a single-shot rifle (or several) from a casting set or a set of water/laser cut stock.

He says I did, but the car wasn't really "fixed," just more functional then when we arrived.
