Oh Blimey I bought a CNC Lathe !!!!

In practise, even with my largest tip on the torch it was a struggle to get up to temperature due to the large radiant losses from the disks of steel.
However I got there, and here is the built up blank compared with the sensor actuator that I removed yesterday with the slide hammer
awemawson:
The silver solder seems to have flowed ok, but it'll be interesting to see just how well when I come to machine it. Next issue to resolve is how to machine the inner and outer faces truly concentric.
Current plan is to machine the inside to finished dimensions gripping it in the 3 jaw with the reversed jaws on the outer (rough flamecut) diameter, then transfer to the four jaw, indicate it in holding on the inner bore, then machine the outer diameter.
I may rough turn the flame cut surface first.
awemawson:
Well I finished the new style proximity sensor thingy this afternoon. This is how it turned out, not forgetting the dustbin full of swarf !
awemawson:
The braze line between the two disks in not perfect, but quite acceptable for the service this will see.
So hopefully if I can get a bit of time tomorrow I can re-fit the housing and set the proximity sensor up

Looks good from here. :thumbup:
