sean: I run 1/2" tooling in my lathe, how about you?
bahurd: we run 2ft tooling....
For those interested, look up BOST machining on youtube. Specifically the ones where they machine cargo ship crankshafts. I remember one vid where they are drilling and thread milling for the bolt on counterweights. The thread was something like M72x6mm.

I have another customer who supplies all the mechanical archery releases to Cabelas. Everything is done in one chucking, from bar stock, on a sliding headstock machine. Pretty much a fully prismatic part made from round bar stock.

, it vents to atmosphere. 
Popped the vent cap off at lunch and placed it back on. Issue went away on my way to lunch. Going to grab some electronic cleaner before I start spending money.

One of my first projects when I started 11 years ago was to redo those so they could be done on a lathe. Before that it was a vertical mill with multiple setups.
EDIT: wow I found a pic of the old aluminum milled part, thanks google. A little lighter & stiffer, but required removal of camshafts for installation, which on a ford OHC required basically disassembly of most of the engine, which IIRC in a mustang required removal of the engine from the car. I made sure the updated steel versions could be installed with the factory tools, cause duh.

I was reading through some of the old posts in this thread...
Abut 5 years ago, I was defending the fact that I wore a cheap Casio Databank watch, and lobbing moldy digital fruit at people who were fan-wanking over fancy analogue wristwatches because they were "stylish."
Today, I'm wearing a Danish-made Skägen, while all the cool kids are blathering about their trendy smartwatches and fitbits.

A watch is a fashion item more than a way to keep time. Especially a skagen or any other analog watch. I usually look at my phone for the time too but I still like wearing a nice watch when the situation calls for looking nice.
