I've always thought that those were EDMed somehow but the electrode would require machining.

In the uk so the time delay stinks, would like to but dont think the gov would approve!! Have this little idea that may make me a little though! With computers these days thought there must be something out there rather than making a masters for fine work! If not may be thats a money spinner!!! Originally Posted by ajl6549
