Whats the best way to make a square hole in a round piece of material,
without a broach?



Gunner, I know you would probably rather make your own, but these things are
readily available from Green Bay Manufacturing:

Well dip me in ****. Saved for further reference. Thanks much. Though
I dont think much of leadloy for this application, its a GREAT link!

They are a bit pricy on their acme nuts..but not terribly so. Im
getting ready to start repairing the litle horizontal/verticle
Hales/Yamazon/Red Dragon Noodle and Machinetool Collective miller and
they have at least half the nut I need.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
