[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 3715214, member: 47878"] I know nothing about crowns in my mouth unless it is broccoli crowns! But I do know how to make some stuff outa metal Reminds me of a time in my early years, I had to mill a 13" square through pocket in a mold base 6" thick, and the boss told me he wanted a gage block fit! Sometime while I was working at that place I answered a ad (before the internet) for some tools from a Tool & Die retiree. Picked up a bunch of his stuff. Amongst that was some off sized "123" blocks. Later on at a different shop I took the off sized 123 blocks that was heavy on the 1" sides and took them down to 1 inch, then I lapped them together with some diamond polishing compound, swapping and mixing sides. My 123's will wring together now! [URL='http://starrett-webber.com/GB46.html']Wringing Gage Blocks[/URL] Ps: I always wiped gage blocks on my wrists to clean the mating surfaces [USER=46535]@Burney[/USER], I wish you the best my friend! I always used the shop's machines for my projects, and neglected getting my own! Now I am not working at no shop and need to get my machines! ☹️ [/QUOTE]
