@Matta212121 i get my rod and tubing from winship designs in eugene oregon, now a part of glasscraft.

will any old carbide edge do ? harbor freight has carbide stuff with edges for cheap.....

[acroduster]

@sonick808 yes, any carbide edge should work just fine. ;-)

[sonick808]

@acroduster cool deal  :) hey I went to the yellow pages on a whim based on what you said, and managed to get a free end mill from a local shop just like you said. So, problem solved, works great! thanks so much.

[acroduster]

@sonick808 told ya!-) its an awesome use for a end mill that is otherwise past its useful life.

[granmastervoic]

Great tip.

Awesome tip man, always a wealth of helpful knowledge.

The edge of a file (I use a smaill 3 corner file) works great and are cheap.

[acroduster]

heck yes! thats the classic method from scientific glass work! and its is awesome! I still use the file method at times, just depends on what I am doing specifically.-) thanks for the comment and the suggestion! that rocks. I cant believe I forgot to mention files!-(

What about a lathe bit? :)

[acroduster]

they work great, thought the chances of getting one with enough left on it to use is slim. most machine shops even the small one I owned tends to re sharpen and use lathe tools till they are little more than a nub.-) but end mills are such a bitch to regrind, that most just replace them now.-)

[beachboy8969]

is this good for any size rod/tubing?

[acroduster]

i use old end mills for scoring all rod and tubing. though I tend to personally prefer flame cutting tubing over 25mm. but thats just preference.
