Turning a nose cone on the lathe (1st attempt)
Loading...
Uploaded by Dividedhead on Apr 4, 2008
After being kind of challenged I thought I would give turning a nose cone on the lathe with my ball turning tool a go... here is the result.
What do you think? Plans available from http://bedair.org/Ball/ball.html

@110samec It's so hard to determine inflection from written words. Sarcasm or not? It's the exclamation mark that throws me.
An Interrobang might have been of more use if intended as a jibe ?! (i.e. ? meaning "uhh" and ! meaning "what") I suppose this day and age if it were intended as a nice comment a :-) smiley might be better?
Anywho, either way I like it and that's why it's there....
Hoping that it was meant in a nice way? :)

Nice background music!

You dont seem to need cutting oil?!? Is it al or steel? very cool I want one too! Thanks for posting the web site to get them Joseph T fly2000jtb

@fly2000jtb I use carbide tips, quite forgiving... They will and do cut very well on steels and brass bone dry. Ali usually I use oils to prevent the welding of the material to the tool tip.
They are not too hard to make as long as you have access to the tooling? You may, as I did need to alter the design slightly to fit your own requirements? But it should be ok....
If you want to ask more details etc visit MadModder (address in annotations at end of vid) lots of smart guys on there! :-)

@110samec Good stuff :-)
Sorry if I randomly went on.... Just I've had a spate of not very nice comments on some of my videos recently. Hence my semi-negative spin on the possibility of the comments meaning.
Music is by Solas. From the album "Another day" Just in case you were wondering?
