Brass Scope Rings

[Joe Pitz]

Thanks Silverbullet, I think I will try the v-blocks with your suggestion, I will keep most of the tube intact and slice, then cut to length.

They are available as well. These would appear to be able to trim the length to fit your application. Just a thought

I would like to make some 30 mm to 1" brass scope rings. Turning the O.D. and I.D. is not an issue. Once the rings are made I have to slit them across the middle. I was thinking of using a slitting saw. Would this be the best way to slice the rings? Also I am assuming that if I use a 1/32" slitting saw I have to adjust the finished OD and ID to compensate for the kerf of the slitting saw. Also what would be the best way to hold the ring in the vice to get an exact middle cut of the ring?

Thanks

Joe
