So, I have my blanks drilled and glued up and I am getting ready to turn. I think I want to have the cap and body at the same dimension rather than having a step at the cap to body interface.
Since the hole in the end of the cap is drilled to 29/64 (0.453") or 11.51mm, I am thinking I should only turn the cap down to maybe 13.5mm (about 17/32") which would leave a 1mm wall thickness. Then I would turn the body down to the same 13.5mm so they match up. I really don't want to mess this up, so am I off base? What would you recommend?
Thanks,
Dave
