Swing a circle on a centerline drawn lengthwise of the lever one and one-half inches from the upper end with the compass set at one and one-half inch radius; taper the lever to one and one-half inches at the lower end, and remove the stock to line. Lay out and cut a one-quarter inch chamfer at all four corners of the lever as shown in the drawing.
