Darren,
David and I will discuss the graduations on the "sight leaf" part. I can get the lines done, but my mill is too hard to program every little move for every number. I was talking with Russ, and he has a legal copy of BobCad that he's going to let me try. It's the only CAD/CAM software package available which has written a post processor and made a custom cable for the Prototrak Plus control on my machine. I think it would take too long for me to get the cable, relearn the software (I last used it about 10 years ago) and work out any bugs before the parts would be ready to ship off to David.
As for the reamers, I was thinking of contacting FHC about the reamers but I'm looking around. Holiday time and gifts for others are the priority right now, but to make matters worse my daughter's car is dead (she killed the motor) and I have to buy out my company car coming off lease (new one due in any day now) and give her my wife's 2009 Malibu. Money's getting tight, though I got lucky and sold off that De-Vi-Bar for $500 and made a little over $300 on the deal.
