Bruce:
I used a lathe to make all my rods. The smallest I ever made for a customer was .020. He wanted long power tips which is a challenge in that size. Went through a few before I finally got a good pair. I would just about get the final sizing and the tip would break off. Guess that's what happens when you aren't a real machinist. LOL! I finally figured out how to do it without the breakage but never had to make any that small ever again. Thank the Lord.
