[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 833486, member: 19791"] Thanks, I tried my best with tools I got :D When I was tapping this spider I was considering 3/8-24 and 5/16-24 set screws, but I couldn't find any in my toolbox, but I had 3/8-16 and 5/16-18 set screws, so I picked 3/8-16 tap, so at this point I could tap it to 7/16-20 or 1/2-20, but I rather not mess with it anymore. The brass tips will be there, I'm planing on making them. Gary, I do have 4140, which I think can be used, its just lower carbon then 4150. I also was thinking if O1 tool steel can do the trick, its easy to machine, but quenching might result in warping. Also the cost for O1 probably much greater for 2 - 2.5" OD bar then 4150 or 8620 steel. [/QUOTE]
