Rotary Jig patterns and MPCs

[fwharris]

First attempt at a design for a beer tap. Look this over and see if I am on the right track. I think I have the settings good for tapering down the handle.

Looks good Floyd!

Thanks Steve,

Not sure on my length. It might be to long, guess I need to hit a few bars and check em out.

Got my new filter system the other day and want to get it set up before I do any carving. Hope to have the time now that I've gotten caught up on my insert orders.

Floyd, It looks Real Good. I am not at home to see the mpc in designer. Some numbers that help me in carving round stock are: A carve region of: .062 leaves 1 7/8" diameter. .250 leaves 1.5. .312 leaves 1 5/16.
.437 leaves 1 1/8. .500 leaves 1". .625 leaves 3/4. Those numbers aren't intended to be EXACT when carving round stock, but are very close to the results you will see.

Sounds like it's time to make a "Facts gathering trip" .. The Beer tap handle that is on the Rotary Jig advertisment was done by Joe Lovchick. It sure did come out nice !

Another way to remember is that when turning round stock: "The depth you use will be double what you loose".
Thats an old toolmakers memory lesson.

Right on Bud,... used that saying for many years myself.... what comes off one side comes off the other.

I see it on there! I think the third party orders are being marked Payment Pending status, just so we can keep them separate until you send us shipping confirmation. You might want to talk to Mary.
