Hey guys,
I want to go kitless, I am wondering where to start!?!
So far I figured out I needed the following:
"Collet Chucking System with 5 Collets"
"Keyless 1/2" #2 MT Chuck"
I seen in others posts some information regarding taps and die. I am not even sure what kind of feed I should be using? Is there a place where I can buy the front section without buying the whole pen kit? Some people suggested Victor Machinery for taps and dies. Did I miss any important post? Any advice? It's mostly the nib assembly I cannot figure out, if anyone has examples it would be great.
Here is the sizes I found in some posts:
M6.4x.5 - "C" - Schmidt Roller/Small Heritance/Small FP feeds
M8.4x.75 - "O" - Large FP feeds
M7.4x.5 - "J" - Meisternibs
M8.4x1 - "O" - Baron/Sedona/Navigator Front Ends
M8.5x1 - - Sierra Transmission
M8x.75 - Cigar nib and finial
M8x.5 - Cigar transmission
M6.4x.75 Jr Gent feed holder (measured but not tested)
Thanks for any information,
Charles
