Do you still want an answer?

Gene

By now (Tuesday) you may have some specific questions.

Gene

Edit: It's Sunday. Sorry.

Can you tilt the cutter at an angle instead of vertically?

Gene

Have you tried this?

Online image vectorizer

Gene

Maybe these are the numbers you're looking for?

Not quite. The .42 is where the .15 dimension intersects the 30 Degree angle

Gene

Is this what you have in mind?

A number of scenarios would fit your description. You'll need to be more specific. A rough sketch might do.

Gene

I'd make the blank longer than needed and use the extra length as a "handle" to hold onto while machining. You could even make it long enough to make two parts end to end with the extra material in...

The first number is the thread pitch. The second number is the double depth.

Gene

Edit: Actually the first number is the number of threads per inch, sometimes referred to as the pitch. The...

Might be something here

Depending on how much you want to spend.

Low Pressure Injection Molded Tungsten Carbide

If you understand the concept illustrated here you will be able to calibrate your angle plate.

Gene

The first thing I would do would be to test the memory.

The dovetail indicator clamp that you ordered will do the job but the one shown here is much better. It has separate locking nuts, one for the swivel and one for the dovetail. It's much...

Tom

That should do it. Remember to keep the axis of the indicator point as parallel as possible to the axis of the dowel. 15 degrees shouldn't be any problem. It really depends on the accuracy you...

Model#?

Tom

To allow for some deviation in the center to center holes in the stock make one of the dowels into a Diamond Point. Only the portion that protrudes into the stock should be the diamond shape....

Tom

I'm getting the impression that I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. Apparently you don't need any holes in your stock. I say that because you are willing to have 2 or 4...

Tom

Drilled holes are not appropriate for dowel pins. You should drill and then ream.
If possible can you use a larger diameter dowel?
After pressing in the dowel pins you should re-cut the...

I really don't know anything about RS-232 but I have 2 PC's with WIN XP connected to a router and can exchange files, folders etc. in both directions. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for....

Does your code look anything like this?

I know nothing about a CNC lathe but can you not draw the ogive in AutoCad, or one of its free clones and then export as a DXF file?

Gene

You need a wheel with a 1 1/4" hole as well as the appropriate adapter. Be sure the adapter has left hand threads. You'll also need the 1/2 inch left hand spindle nut to hold the wheel assembly to...

You can also open it a text editor such as Edit Pad Lite (free) and display the line numbers.

Gene

Relatively simple on a surface grinder. Somewhat time consuming. I would guess about 3-5 hours.

Gene

The burr is there because the nose of your tool is square. It needs to be angled to minimize the burr.

Gene

A sinebar will be useful if you stay in the trade. You can make it now and heat treat/grind later.
