Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Yes, that be it! I have a handfull of those inserts, though i did not k ow thats what they were for! I made a tool holder for one to use on my lathe, works good for aluminum. Chatters with steel! I believe i will be purchasing a facing cutter for sure now. Less stress on my little mill is what i thought would be a plus also!

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Couldn't stop thinking about the hydraulics so today I built a prototype of the fitting needed in the valve body. Need two hoses for each port, 16 hoses total. Here are some pics of the 45 deg. fitting, #8 ORB to a double 1/8" NPT.
[IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  Built it as small and short as possible...I think it should work nicely...so just need to refine the design and build all eight fittings, time to go back to the garage  KP

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Made a little more progress on the brass hydraulic fittings, got them turned/threaded. Then they were threaded in until they firmly bottomed out on the face of the valve body, this will insure that the angles are milled in the proper direction and that all of the small fittings for the 5/32 tubing are all pointing forward. Next job will be to mill all the flats and then drill/tap the hole for the small fittings....
[IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  The ports and fittings will need be numbered because the valve ports will most likely all have different thread start timing.
