Trimming A Dial

Recommended Posts

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.
