Hey Jim,
Yes, I am still alive. I've been out of town and just got back tonight. I got your voicemail and your email so I'll give you a call tomorrow. I am still working on the machining of the inserts. My prototypes that are in the field have a cut ID and OD thread, so I am trying to have them formed (rolled)instead. The OD is looking nice but the ID is posing problems but they are very close. Totally manufacturability issues. The cut threads are working fine but I just want them to be as good as I can get them before I go to market. Formed threads simply have more integrity and I want these to last as many cycles as possible so we can throw away those dreadful sheet metal screws. Anyway, I'll talk to you real soon. Take care.
