Thanks for the post!

I made them at work in my spare time I am a machinist by trade. I have been working with a local rodbuilder/friend for some time now and we tend to bounce ideas off of each other and take the best of both worlds. The cutting fixtures were originally aluminum with a little wider slots but it did not take long for the slots to wear so I then made them out of A2 tool steel and had them hardened to a 60 rockwell. The fixture for holding the saw straight while sliceing was something he came up with and I copied.

Sorry guys but making stuff like this is a hobby and not a job and with the cost of material, heat treating and my time it would not be very cost effective for me to make these in any kind of numbers.

Bummer!
I was going to ask if I could have some made as well. My little lathe might have a rough time with A2. I could see how making a bunch of these could possibly cause a problem if they were done while working for someone. That A2 smokin away while being machined is kind of a bust!
