A Parting Tip for the Little Stuff

by Roger Taylor

I recently had to part off two small brass bushings that measured .122″ in diameter by .128″ long. They were drilled and ready to part off when I realized I would never find them in the chip tray, even though I just had cataract surgery. Parts this size have a way of disappearing, no matter how perfect your eyes might be.

It dawned on me that the No. 42 drill used on the parts could also be used as a support arbor for the cut-offs. It worked perfectly and I saved myself a lot of time and frustration. A simple but helpful tip if you are doing small work that is easily dropped and lost.
