Cord, I would think you want to hard anodize it just to make sure you never bend or dent it, I'm probably going to have mine hardened and ground.
Maxx, it doesn't say on the print so I was just curious what tolerance did you hold? I've never used one so I wasn't sure how much clearance was built in. Thanks.

ofshore, the turning center held it within .0005. However the ones you buy over the counter are within .010. We made them in two pieces; a stainless steel end with an aluminum handle which allows it to break down and fit in an average size tool box.

We made a stainless end with an aluminum handle. This way it can be broken do so it will fit easily in a standard toolbox.

Nice idea with the 2 piece tool.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to beat my price, the owner of the company i work for is pretty good about letting people use extra stock to make up parts for their own use as long as it doesn't interfere with work.
