Learn from it and scrap it. Great advice Rob! Eric |

Well that's unanimous. It's scrap. Thanks for all the comments. However there was lots of useful practice in thread cutting etc. In fact I was really pleased how the threads came out. (Thank you Rob for noticing). As far as the taper goes I was relying on the computer to get the angle right for me. I did test it with an empty collet held lightly but next time I will use one with something in it. I'll do it again. Looking on the bright side - with all that practice and the tools already ground it should be much quicker. :lol: First though I need to fix the lathe switch. :zap: Russell |

Thanks for the tips on testing. I am about to embark on making some of these and the tips have come just in time. Jim |
