    We make small square holes through round bar for door latches we just drill and drift to the right size cheap and quick.if the out side neads to be acurate as well I would turn them down to size after.

    HI I have a cut off saw that if it stands for a few days or is realy cold it takes time to reach full speed I have found that if I turn it over by hand first then start it it speeds up a lot faster,I also have a bench grinder with a week capacitor that needs a helping hand to start it.

    I have been thinking about this for a few years, in the UK we have en rated steel ie (these are only my estimate of types) en8=carbon steel en16=high carbon en35=coil springs en45=spring steel(leaf springs) could we build a comparison chart with the types from the US?.It would help me understand the types of steel talked about on here.

    This looks like non weldable iron not sg or gray iron that can be welded you could stitch weld it,by puting small pieces of steel between the iron and place one tack on each side on each piece of steel this will stop the shrinking that causes the iron to crack when cooling.

    NeatGuy I would love to see a video of the process.

    I would think this work is not twisted but swaged by spining it between three adjustable rollers.
