Tired of broken & twisted CVDs?

I did ya one better Squee

Gotta love turning scrap into very useful goodies

I found some 5/8" bolt stock that had the heads cut off, so was unsure of the grade before drilling into it. It did machine a bit gnarly but I managed to get it to work. I then used .120" gage pin, .0005 oversized for the dogbone end. And drilled 8 holes instead of 2 into the CVD end. I figured I might as well make some extra holes to use once one pair wears out.

I did a fairly hard trial run with them tonight, and I am very pleased

Very nice. How much do they weigh over the other unit?
