"real time" machining "with the iphone"
anyone have any sudgestiond for cutting grooves to bed o rings? atm i'm using a thread cutting tool to cut a triangular groove but i would prefer to cut a semicircular one... i know there are real tools but at 50 pound for a tooth and 20 for a holder to cut 3 possibly 4 grooves i'd prefer to bodge it ^^ the o rings are 1mm thick so i was thinking adapting a screwdriver and using it as a cut off tool but im not sure if it will shatter...

had a play with some different tools and then i found a small enough parting tool at school so i'll borrow that.
done some more machining at school this time as the new ram design requires a larger diameter bar and this didnt dit in my lathe. The new design incorporates the valve into the base of the ram hopefully saving weight and space. so i've made up the blank and bored it out although there is a lot of milling to do on the base and top flange and also all the ports and holes to go in but atm the piece with asolid base (37mm dia 12.5mm thick) weighs 40g
its amazing how much better my work is when i'm machining at home
