would it not be easier say practicing on a bit of copper pipe,even say a pencil?

Its best to use a rod tip to practice as a pencil / copper pipe doesn't tapper m8....

its grade a from rutherfords mate a could littrley just say see it were the blue was grade d from guides and blanks and a found that alot easyer

bit late now like but your better of sticking with "A" grade if you can m8 as I gives a much better finish........

[himself26]

First pic is C grade m8. Its a fair bit courser.


Second pic is A grade takes a little more putting on




but lies really nice....

Heres a better pix so you can see both together m8. You can see how much thicker the C grade looks when its actually on the blank m8........

That's much better it looks like you might of had to much tension on the blue under wraps but your getting there and once you've high built that it will look good make sure you burnish the threads so there's no gaps.
