Looking for 2 of the coarse needle valves that come with the OS needle, the one w/o the groove. Screwed them up trying to re-cut the taper. I have lots of fine needles to trade if that works.

Tower's out of them: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?I=LXCR29&P=Z

The one on the right.

I’m sure I have some Terry but we’re in the middle of moving, they may be at the new house or here at the old. I’ll check in morning here and let you know. We’re y trying to cut with a tool post grinder or single point lathe tool? I always hand good luck with my tool post grinder.
Thanks John

Thanks much, no hurry.

I would really like to use the fine needle but it won't work with that unit, too small for the fitting it seats in. I did re-cut the taper finer on a few other coarse needles but didn't keep notes and screwed up two of them when I went to do it again.

They cut fine with my Iscar high rake inserts...
