(that was JohnK) I really like the flexibility over a standard. (I didn't know there was a 'standard' from research I have done) And with a little math - it will make a perfect tapered thread. With re-mapping now there are even more options. (considering with the source code - the options are really unlimited.. ;) ) sam On 01/25/2012 05:51 AM, John Thornton wrote: > IIRC Jeff Eppler cut a fusee for a mousetrap powered car... > > John > > On 1/24/2012 3:52 PM, John Prentice wrote: >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Kent A.
