A brazed type bit would be no good as with a 2 stroke you'd have an interupted cut.Most Nikasil bores I've seen have been replated but to standard size,and the pistons are only available in small variations on standard.All the...

If you can run to it,I'd get a set of metric and imperial.If you're marking through a cover for a threaded hole and the clearance is a bit worn/sloppy,you'll still get a mark on...

This guy uses a method where you can disengage the half nut.He engages it on #1 on the dial,takes a cut,then disengages the nut as he stops the...
