[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1470336, member: 2736"] I do a lot of barrel contouring and have never been able to get the finish cut using Carbide that I have with high speed tools. They wont take as big of a cut as Carbide but the finished cut is much better. I have tried the shear tools and they also do a nice job, but they wont take more than .005 to .007 thousandths cut. When I make the final cut on a barrel with high speed tools I normally take less than .010 thousandths (Carbide doesn't like light cuts). I'm not sure that a shear grind tool is the answer to a better finish, but i will keep experimenting with then until i feel they are better or not the answer. Thanks Gary and Timnterra for your comments. Keep them coming ! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
