Default Bobcat did a good job...really good!

I guess I know now just how hot my set-up really is. I bought some 14mm rods to use to make tail stock holders that are a little more durable, and these rods are thicker that I thought they would be! Well, it didn't take but about 20 seconds to melt it apart.

I'm happy with that! I always thought my oxy generator (Airsep AS-12A) was a bit of overkill for the Bobcat and soft glass, but it's perfect for COE 33.

Tail stock, you mean for a lathe?

No, a tail stock I use for holding one end of the mandrel. Brent (Mr. Smiley) is the one who told me I could make one out of boro after I wore a hole in my brass Smircich one.
