Old fashioned camera spools

(1/3) > >>

Hi all.
I am trying to work out a way of hold a 120 film spool in my lathe so I can turn the diameter of the flange ends down about 2mm. Then I would be able to use the film in my very old camera. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am not (at the moment) worried about the core diameter.
Regards
Jon

Could you do it with a split cylinder around the axle and cut a step at one end to the diameter you wish the flanges to be ?
Nathan.

ieezitin:
Not quite sure what a film spool looks like so people may be pressed in answering your question on holding it on the lathe, any pictures?

Anthony.

for some reason the attachments were not showing, i see them now .......  dismiss my first statement.. :Doh:

chipenter:
Do it between centres with a half centre at the tailstock , I have done this for 135 spools but I only had turn the outside of the flange .

fatoftheland:
Is the picture not visible? It's the first time I have posted one.
Between centres is a good idea but being a newbie I'm not sure what a half centre is!
Thank you for the replies.
Jon
