How do i go about turning a crown on a idler wheel.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Rob.Wilson:
What i have done in the past , is mount job on mandrel between centres , so there is plenty of room to work,  remove tool post , mount tool further  back and with  the top slide nuts just slack enough for it  to move freely,  then working it from side to side ,feeding in with the cross slide , but the job must be small enough to clear  the top slide .

May not be suitable for your lathe but might provide some inspiration:

Rob.Wilson:
Now thats a clever use of a TTA Bill , my Myford one could be adapted very easily  to that setup .

I will remember that one .

NeoTech:

Rob.Wilson:
Don't forget to show how you got on  :poke:
