Sigh..thanks. I just came in from the shop, and had stood there for
about 30 seconds when the light bulb came on above my head. I felt
like an utter idiot when I posted this..and a bigger idiot when the
light bulb came on over my head.
Now Ive got to grind an ID tool. That I think I can manage....
I checked my threading tools..nothing for ID..dont know where they
have hidden themselves this time.
Thanks again
