Thanks John, I'll look forward to it...."a day at Johns is something to look forward to" :)
Thinking about it, bit late now, I'd have been better off turning the bar around and sticking it in the 27mm collet to part it off.
Why didn't I think of that last night? :doh:
Learning every day !!! :ddb:

I have to say I am happy to hear parting off nasty stainless isnt as simple as it is with brass and stainless.
I bought a really nice HSS parting tool for my QCTP and I always have to really get things just right to part the stainless without too much trouble.
ANd yes.. I found you really need to steadily keep that thing shaving.. cause yes.. the nasty offshore boat driveshafts I have that are stainless of some sort.. REALLY dont like to have the parting stopped and re-started.
I have been looking for some time for a parting tool that is carbide, or some sort of index type.
I have a chunk of some sort of hard as hell steel that is ferrous.. because it shows a trace of rust.. and was some sort of jack shaft. That will NOT cut with the HSS. I have to whittle it down with a carbite tip. Or course that isnt parting.. so I have it off to teh side, until I get the tooling and skill to part it properly.

That would be good Stew, I might still borrow that tap if you find it in time... :thumbup:
I have a warm feeling it won't be too long now as someone has been working hard :D

A little more done on the banjo fitting tonight... :whip:
A couple of pic's of the item so far fitted over the banjo bolt
Marking the center with a scribe block, mark one side and flip it over to do the other side too.
Now we have two lines very close together and can judge the center
Find the center in the other directiong
Drilled and tapped to 8mm, (tried it this time with the tap in the miller, felt much better when cutting. Though 8mm is a bigish tap so it would have been easier anyway with less chance of breaking the tap)
Cut a little flat relief with a 10mm carbide milling cutter. ( I had the idea at this point of sealing with a small o-ring. But it didn't quite work out, more later)
