    Thank you David, today I am going to order that tool, also a machinery handbook, several used ones on ebay but early dates, are the newer editions containing any more info that I would need than the earlier dated ones? A fair condition used 50 year old book if fine with me depending on the cost. I had matched up the cutting tool with the original threads, NOW I understand that most threads have the 60 degree thread, or 30degree included angle (I was unaware that most threads were like this). One thing I did not do is grind a flat on the tip of the cutting tool, I think this information on the size of the flat would be in the handbook. have to go for now, thank you, William
