Made a 5-40 grip screw from scrap brass for a guy i work with. I took the scrap brass from something he tossed away. Thought that would be a good eyeopener making it from his scrap part since he is always teasing me for dumpster diving. Pics suck but i tried.
pic one the scrap part with brass guts.
pic 2 the brass shaft to be used.
pic 3 turned down and getting ready to thread the 5-40 end
pic 4 threaded, made a little long for trimming
pic 5 using 1/8" collet to cut the excess and trim for the head
pic 6 using ships under my tool block to cut the slot using the cross slide. Tool is on center and shims added or removed for the width.
pic 7 Done just need his gun to try them out on. Enjoy.
