You know when you've had enough for the day when....

Something like that happens quite offten.... :beer:

Can you make a pretty fork to attach that one :wave: Make it a "feature" like they call it it in SW-industry.

But this is very interesting topic....now where did I hide all those big HSS-blanks I tought I never need? I have a one ton capstan lathe (sans capstan....) consuming precious real estate and I'm wondering wh to do with it. That should be just right for this kind of work and maybe I should make something quorn like decoration for the mantelpiece before retiring.

Well I didn't notice that!! Well you could always machine it down and slip another ball on.

Or drill another hole (in the right place), fill the old one with brass or the like and make a feature out of it :))

Or just put another handle on and use the first one to hang your apron on!

Hi Guys, I seem to recall an article on skiving in MEW on making a Morse taper on a Myford lathe, but I could be wrong(not for the first or last time I suspect)

while it would be possible to skive a morse taper, my mind boggles at the thought of setting up the knife to cut a five decimal point part! 8-)

skiving is best suited to slender and/or complex parts especially if it not possible to support the part.
