I've repeated it 5 or 6 times, but it hasn't seemed to have gotten any darker since the 3rd or 4th time. I wonder if it's sanded too smooth (I sanded it to 600-grit). Right now I'm going to try letting it sit for an hour after applying the rusting solution to see if that makes any difference.

    Maybe you needed to upgrade your stud...but I am at a loss why so many people do an upgrade on this part and keep a hexagon nut here instead of installing a handle, doing away with the wrench entirely. There is no wrench used to change tool post holders, why use one to adjust the angle of the QCTP when you can have a dedicated handle?

    • @Dans-hobbies
      @Dans-hobbies 11 місяців тому

      Imo, it all comes down to usability and use cases. My lathe isn't very big, and I often run into issues where even the qctp handle gets in the way. Add to that, that I don't often need to reposition the tool post, it makes sense for it just to be a nut. If I had a larger lathe, I would probably have a dedicated handle.

  • @richardkramer1094
    @richardkramer1094 Рік тому

    If I may give you some advice. If you want a durable finish you must let the chemical do it’s work and that takes time. You must let the rust develop into a fuzz type texture before you neutralize the acid by boiling. No matter what chemical you use to induce rust it should only take you no more than 4 applications of the chemical to get a good dark blue finish. Magnetite (ferrous ferric oxide) is a blue black color. What you are doing in the bluing process is turning ferrous oxide into ferrous ferric oxide but you have to allow time for the ferrous oxide to develop. Take it from a gunsmith, you can’t hurry the process.

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me. I'm trying this method to blue a pistol magazine. The issue I'm having is with an uneven first layer, when I apply the solution it doesn't stick as well, instead of forming a "film" there are areas where the steel seems to "repel" it (kinda like water acts on steel). If I do multiple passes I do get the whole piece covered, whoever not evenly. Is this due to not heating the part first? Bad part cleaning? Or perhaps my solution isn't in the right proportions?

    When you cut metric threads on an English lathe you CAN use the thread dial. Not the same way as with English threads but for me it works better than the "quick draw" method. Make the initial cut with the thread dial engaged, engage the half nut on any number. When you get to the relief disengage the half nut, then turn the lathe off before the thread dial makes a complete turn. Retract the cutter, then reverse the lathe and engage the half nut when the number comes up again and run the carriage back to the start. Leave the half nut engaged for the next cut and repeat the sequence for each cut. It works great and gives you much more time to stop the lathe and retract the cutter, as long as you don't let the thread dial make a complete revolution.
