  • @gertsafari next week i will show you how to do this with tough moly steel, and not end up with the CHASER in my face! noob

  • A good tool.) But solid materials so much harder to handle. Stiffness is small. And the device is not universal. The radius is difficult to regulate. Sorry for bad English. Translate with the help of Google Translate. I am russian.

  • i'm really stoned and have no idea how i got to this video buts it's pretty buzzy. Haven't used a lathe since i was at unitec.

  • one day that wrist band on your hand will get caught and they will be able to call you "lefty"

  • ..Thanks, I still like to learn something new every day..and I'm 64...

  • @Keysforge There are many, but a good one is Rustlick...semi synthetic..

  • @ericakasatch Thank you for your answer, hava a great 2012.

  • @Keysforge it's called coolant..and you can use just plain water if you wish...the coolant acts as a lubricant/cutting oil but it's not necessary..the right tool will cut it anyway when the proper tool height/chuck rpm/feed rate is used...only thing you need to consider is tool wear...use carbide inserts for best results
