Hi can I add to this earlier posting ""Personal preference for cutting tool is a round nosed HSS tool with 4 - 5 deg top rake, 6 - 7 deg front rake and used upside down of course."" This will produce a very good finish on Stainless steel aluminum an mild steel. Take fairly light cuts and use cutting fluid. I remove the toolpost and bolt the Ball Turner - Boring Head in is place. Just an idea that this may help for the smaller lathes. The Housing was bored with the boring head mounted in the chuck so it is on the Centre Line. A couple of photos show the boring head built from plans in "Model Engineers Workshop". Eric |
