Machining Needed

[Rick Iverson]

Gents;

I have two AN7-11 bolts that require the heads to be shaved to a thickness of 0.168". A local machine shop has a $100 minimum, and my machinist in Brainerd is 6-8 weeks out.

Does anyone have a lathe that will be willing to do this? I will pay what ever it takes.

Is the finish so critical that you can't just do it on a bench grinder?

How much? How long??

I'm in the UK and could still turn them round cheaper and faster!!

Send me 10 bolts and I’l do them all for $60, including return shipping, assuming your tolerance isn’t incredibly fine. You will have to provide a tolerance though. Getting them exactly .168” is a bit more complicated. With a decent tolerance (+/-.002”), I can turn them around in a day.
