Drilling out RM2 to 1/16"....have you done it ????

[Justice]

With these you can make the air hole any size you want.
Made mine a little larger on the RM's but still smaller then 1/16
Used them on a stainless ERA also,,

you just stick something in that is stronger than brass, wiggle it about, then move it in a circular motion. Work slowly so you dont open it up too wide.

taking this out of context . .. . . hmmmmm

 

[johni]

Stronger than brass! Right on!

I never thought of that (back to some version of sanity here), enlarging the air hole on a Ti cap has got to be a beech unless you got a machine shop.

I don't have a machine shop but I do have glorified power tools in my garage.

Pdibby is certainly capable of drilling out air holes & then some, he was talking about Ti. Still though Ti is not that hard as one might think as long as you drill with the proper speed & feed, well for a small short airhole anyway. Try deep drilling Ti on a lathe, now that I hate!

I'm going to get to the meat. I love this idea, I love you bringing it to my attention.

Any advice/tips/tricks on using these???

Thank you.

Stock is 3/64" I drilled out to 1/16" and it was to airy and whistled, but the only way I found out that 3/64" was it for me was to do it. So I just used some tape and covered some of the hole on the 1/16" one. Good Luck.

I did the same thing to my Hornet, 1/16 was too airy after drilling out. Put some JB weld on the inside to cover hole then redrilled it with smaller airhole.

Sorry about that.

Thanks fellas.....it's just a Ti cap & drip tip that I custom made for an off the shelf atty.

and tapping its a real joy too.

Yup, that can be even worse! I'll single point Ti threads whenever possible depending on the size just to avoid taps & dies.
