Lathe work 1

Taking the last chips down to 60mm.
In the end, this bar should turn into a new main spindle, for my old horizontal mill.

Is this stainless?

[Fourwheelsdk]

No just "ordinary" steel, if such a thing exists.. ;) Found it on the junkyard, so I hav no idea of what it was made up off.

Ok, where's the coolant? Why arent you using coolant?

[Fourwheelsdk]

The pump was broken, so I give it a bit of oil now and then, thats why it smokes. Not the most optimal way to do it, but it works fairly ok.

Bad..

I ended up taking 0.02mm too much of one of the bearing fittings.

But I learned to always use my micrometer screws instead of a digital caliper, even though the caliper has a resolution of 0.01mm

Looks like cold rolled steel in my opinion

Think three times, measure twice, and cut once!

sucks about that 0.02 mm but thats why they always say for precise measurments use a mic not a caliper. when tolerances are that close you got to you precise measuriung euipment. better luck in the future.
