Where you been Mike.

Because I cut my points on a lathe between centers. I use a adjustable taper bar that allows me to not only control the length of my points but the width also and where I choose the returns to be, if I have them at all.
Example of 4, 6 and 8 points.

Mike

Here is a stupid question. Do you use the same cutter for all points?

Got an email asking where I've been because I haven't been here.
Short answer. I work.
Thanks for looking.

Well with this Covid shit, probably you should take it as a compliment. Somebody was worried about you.

I call my parents every day, they are in their 80's and while they have had the shots, I still worry.

We need to keep checking on each other.

Ken
