Nice. I never thought to try Stainless.
If this buggers then I'll go stainless.
I used 3/8 OD 1/32" thick wall Brass with the last 2 inches shimmed, silver soldered to 1/4" as the cable exits to motor.
Then inside the straight portion I have silver soldered in 3 pieces of brass tubing with spaces in between to trap grease/oil.
Where the cable exits the hull to the stinger, I have crushed the brass into an oval that is only 1/4" wide but, now taller thus giving me verticle adjustment on my stinger of approx. 1/8" inch up or down.
Hopefully this is good enough for my 40" mono?
I also fabbed some driveline coolers on my lathe. Fun stuff. The milling attatchment is becoming useful for other stuff now too. Someday I'll have a nice cnc like you.
