The actual nozzle where the lead       comes out no . Won't quite pass a 6d box nail . Got a dandy new pin vise       and #60 and finer bits here somewhere ... somewhere I can't quite recall       . Some of the aspects of living a long time are        oh shit , I forgot what I was going to say .               Bob's right about the ball nose rod . I don't know yet about the       nozzle because of the rust . I did polish the rod tip earlier today to       make sure there are no pits . Right now the pot has about an inch of       Evap-O-Rust soaking . All I know for sure about the nozzle is that the       bottom has what looks like maybe a 90° included angle like maybe a       countersink . All my countersinks are too large diameter and have short       shafts .        I like Jim's d-bit idea , I have suitable stock but need to find the       angle . Maybe a dowel spun in the hole will grind to conformity ...       --       Snag        I appreciated foreign cultures more       when they stayed foreign ...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
