Does the mill have a thread mill program and do you have the tooling? Doing the threads this way you can index the threads.

Thanks for the tip. As far as I know, it does not. I did design the first one so that the **** can be straight. Works like double nuts. I haven't gotten that far on the 2nd one yet.

Sadly no. As this is not my full time job, I work on it when I can.

I haven't asked for a list, but iIf you're making a list, please specify S4 or S5. Just so I can get an idea. I still haven't decided on which version. Chances are I'll release the round depressed rotor first (maybe only).

I was talking with the owner of the mill the other day. And he told me that the "RX-8" version would require a lot of time to machine. So, I think as of now I will NOT be making/releasing an 8 version. Maybe later, but not now.

The "round" version was designed from an S4, I would think it might not fit the way I would like it to on an S5. So I'm going to tweak the design a bit.

I'll update the thread when I have some more info.
