I have a .75mm thick piece of 316 stainless steel that I'd like to TRY to turn
into a P:64 track gauge. It will have to be done by hand since no tooling shop
in my area seems to have machines that can handle such tight tolerances. (see
www.trainweb.org/seaboard/ODDSTUFF/P87GAUGE.jpg)
"IF" it is possible to make one of these gauges by hand, can anyone suggest
some good tools that might come in handy for tackling such a task? I have a
dremel tool, some files and a vise... and a fairly steady hand (two,
actually)... but I'm wondering about such things as hack-saw (or similar)
blades for cutting "square-bottom" notches (as opposed to an Dremel cut-off
disc which would cut notches with rounded bottoms).
I have looked into CNC machines, but don't really have that kind of $$$ to put
into it.
Suggestions, anyone?
