Anybody with a cnc lathe want to make a little side money?

[Dusty Stevens]

i need 75-80 small parts ran from stainless, brass or aluminum. Simple leveling screw like a mini version of a rest leveling foot. Knurled head, 1/4-20 thread, full radius on the bottom. No tight tolerances involved. Shoot me a pm if youd like to quote it

Heres some i made just to figure out what i needed, so you can get an idea.

Dusty, I’ve got some open time on our nc’s at my shop and we have plenty of aluminum bar. Do you have a print you could make and send me? I’ll PM you my number if you want to holler at me.

Dusty, is there something that needs to be different than what you can buy? Google 1/4-20 knurled knobs. I found several with a quick search. If it'll work for your purposes, it'll likely be the cheapest route.

If those will work, buy em. That’s considerably cheaper than what I can do them for.

Dusty, I think you can find exactly what you want in McMaster Carr. Search on Knurled Head Bolrs. They have them in solid SS for less than $8 each or less depending on what you want.

You see any with 1.25” long threads?

Might save a few $$ going to a smaller head, both dia. and height. This’n’s stainless, head 1” dia., thread 1-1/4” long. In brass or aluminum they don’t come that long.

Smaller head dia.:

Tried them. Nothing matches my needs.
Every place i look has 1” threads max. They may have 1.25 long but thats total length

 

[jkohler]

These say 1 1/4 thread length.
