Continuing on.
I turned the cap around in the collet and used my small parts alignment tool to get it running true.
This is an easily made shop tool using a piece of bar stock and a couple of small diameter bearings that clamps into a toolholder.
Lastly I machined a .040” deep step turned to .499” diameter.
I wanted to knock the slight buildup of weld down to .625” diameter.
Moving over to the milling machine I drilled a hole across the end .300” from the end.
Grabbed my 3/16” chucking reamer.
Slowed the RPM down and reamed the hole for a tight fit.
Next in the mill I found center of the .312” O1 drill rod and drilled for tapping a 10-24 thread.
Completed.
Works like a charm.
Now to build a holder.
Bead blasted, painted and installed on the back splash.
Now everything is within easy reach.
Thanks for looking.
