didn't miss anything i agree the operator of the machine is where it begins , but i also do know that a process used 50 years ago was fine 50 years ago but times have changed and motors have changed since 1944 and materials have changed and more exotics available today than in 1944, i do remember you saying to machine this material you need a constant surface to cutter speed at all times so it must be done on a cnc machine.
the tool used at the other shop is nothing more than a pencil sharpener basically, i can not see the same quality coming off the two different machines . in fact my old shaft from the old supplier has chatter marks on the taper running length wise from the pencil sharpener tooling thats being used
