Rich, most of us haven't seen a hammerless 20 with lightening cuts. Can you post a picture?

:confused: Thats just to much math, whats a slide rule?:whistle:

Bill its a 16

You guy's have way too much time on your hands.

As a comparison, the lightening cuts on an 0-Frame T/A consisting of two cuts per flat are 1.37" in length each for the cuts to the rear of the check hook rod and .89" for the forward cuts. The width of these cuts are .37" wide and .102" deep.

I can't help you unless you give me the radius at the bottom of the slots.:)

Fill them with hot wax. After it cools, form it into a cube and measure it. No slide rule involved.

Take the width of the slots and divide by 2 and you'll get the radius.

Actually, the depth is the radius in this case.

Remember though, the slots are perfectly rounded at each end so you'll need to multiply by pi in order to arrive at cu. in.

This is gettin' to be fun!

Not so grasshopper!

In your previous example you say half the width would equal the radius which would be correct if the depth also equaled at least half the width. But you are correct in that the radius at the ends must be taken into consideration.:bigbye:
