I knew one day id have to ask this question as today i tried to mill a bracket i need for my bike but after doing 2 and messing up i need help basically im making a ring 50mm id 55 od and cant get the same thickness all the way around so im not centred correctly Before you ask i dont own any kit to centre things only a dial gauge so in simple terms the easiest way to do it.

Jason, errrrr........... you do have a rotary table? DaveH |
| timeone:
yes indeed i do |
| DaveH:
Jason, Sorry mate, which are you cutting the 55 or the 50 DaveH |

Quite a bit of trial and error then, had to re centre my chuck again on RT this afternoon for doing exactly the same. Will have to keep rotating RT and adjusting the runout of said part until adequate. Dial guage will be ok. Alternatively dont bother if using a larger piece and can bolt down to RT. I/D will be same as O/D but would have to leave two lugs where clamped, unless you feel brave :palm: Is this just a 55o/d x 50i/d collar or tube? Best done on a lathe. |
