Restored 0 grade, I think

[Jerry Andrews]

The old timer told me they did the mullering by cutting a 32 LPI line, then yet another one, and used the first one for a centering line for the round bottom cutter. It's what I've been doing for a while. I made a tool by silver soldering a single line cutter on each side of a round bottom cutter. It's not worth the effort and that tool is a bit tough to control. Cutting the 32 LPI lines is much easier and according to this fellow it's how Parker did it. I see evidence of it in some factory guns here and there. Jerry

Jerry: That mullering is a blast isn't it? I did the 32 lpi trick also then used a die sinkers riffler with a tapered point that was bent upward at about 45degrees. I ground it back till the tip was slightly smaller than the finished mullering width and sloped the grind backward to a sharp chisel point. I can use it as a file,chisel, and scraper in tight corners. However I think I will wait a while before I do it again. Lee.
