ryaku Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 What's the best method for reducing the size of the dial? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 If you are reducing a DSN dial then 1mm needs to be removed from the edge. I have used an old regular rep dial and placed that carefully face to face over the DSN dial. The using a dowel to locate them both through the centre hole score round the rep dial carefully with a sharp point. This will score the paint and is less likely to chip when grinding the DSN dial. Then using a cutting bur in a dremel (I have a dental motor which is similar) carefully grind down the edge. Then I use a rubber polishing wheel to carefully smooth and remove any swarf. Be very careful not to slip and scratch the DSN dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 It sounds like a very ticklish mod considering the fragility of dial surface Thanks Mark for your umpteenth help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
