Polishing technique.... well it works!

Yup.... That's the danger part of it alright.
It was pointed out to me very early on that it had it's dangers, I had the arbour in mind but just had to wait to get it made.
Then I had the main bit donated to my cause by Bogs and had it made in about an hour!
The guard was definitely needed cause the threads looked menacing!
mmm.... First post for ages! I'll have to remedy that!

Very impressive making that pigtail, I would never be able to make that whit my skills.
I have a mains power drill that I have adapted to be stuck in a bench vice, and then bought the mops and pigtail, not as nice as yours tho :(

Hi DJH.... Nice handle! I'm RJH! :wave:
Anywho!
This should be quite within your capabilities... I've just taken a butchers at all your posts and if you can make some of that gear then you can make this!
It might be a little big for your lathe mind! Depends on the mop size I suppose?
The arbour is purchased and is "soft" steel on the large end that I machined. (M2 taper arbours are quite a bit smaller.) So cuts pretty easily. Then if you can drill and tap a hole, then you can sort this out in no time :dremel:
There is certainly no need to make one if you have something to do the job anyway.... Most people convert bench grinders. I just simply do not have the luxury of space!
Slightly :offtopic: But it's my thread so....
The lathe and mill manual work takes time... Even though I'd had college instruction (in '91! ) I still made huge amounts of swarf just making shapes, trying to cut domes, cones and all sorts of odd shapes by hand using the two handles simultaneously just to get the feel of the machines.
I don't think it matters who you are in this hobby.... (IMHO) We're all still teaching ourselves new things every time we make something. Be it stuffing a teddy bear to operating various machines :smart:
That's what makes it fun :thumbup:
Well I'm rambling.... Nothing new ::)
I'll try to keep up with some of your other projects.... I like the look of the car :borg:
