Thanks for the response, Chuck. I, too, have the Atlas 12 x 36 lathe and I may follow your suggestions as you seem to be satisfied with the results you received using this method. Ken.
Silver Solder

Harris Staybrite is very handy stuff, It isn't nearly as strong as the higher temp alloys, but significantly stronger than lead-tin "soft" solder. It's about 3.5% silver, balance tin. It melts at
430F, wets and flows nicely on steel, copper, brass, and stainless. Flux is ordinary tinner's fluid. Temp is low enough that a soldering gun or large iron works fine on small jobs.I could use a pound of the stuff. I can pay with Paypal or send you a check if the price is right. I'm in Chula Vista, California. Quote me a price - reply to waynelundatattdotnet or click reply on my son's site
