How tricky would this be to machine? I guess a Triac is not up to the job!

I think your Triac should manage it, my little benchtop CNC would, the trick is to get your tooling, feeds & speeds, DOC and cutting lube right.

Hi Nick, thank you for the thoughts. I think I would get myself into a whole world of hurt with 316. I am don't know much at all about CNCing and nothing when it comes to 316. I have made some parts out of plastic that worked well but I harldy ever get to use my machine and does'nt help with getting to grips with things. Like you say you would need to know about the tooling feed and speeds and I could write what I know on the back of a postage stamp!
Many thanks
Steve

Steve,
316 isn't anything like as scary as a lot of people make out ;-)

Hi magicniner, thanks for the reasurance I hope to get a little lathe oneday and try my hand at 316 on that.
Many thanks
Steve

Steve, With carbide tooling on a lathe 316 is quite sweet to work with, I don't know why people get steamed up about it ;-) - Nick
