I've had a closer look the link Vic sent and rotagrip do one.

Thank you very much for your help guys

No doubt I'll be back soon, I've lots of projects coming up. The next one involves milling!

Over and out.

Basically I need (or think I need) such a long extension to reach into the workpiece, a large lampshade, to steady it for final turning , sanding and finishing. I can't use a centre steady as I would on a smaller piece as it's so large I'm operating near the limit of my lathes capabilities and there just isn't room underneath.

I also thought that stacking up several might not be sturdy enough and could introduce a bit of play.

I would pref 2mt, as all of my bits and bobs are 2mt

Vic, thanks for that link, they might be good. Graham, thanks also for yours. I couldn't get it to work but found it the old fashioned way. Couldn't see how long they are but I was being distracted y a six year old.

Hi Guys,

This is my first time here, and I have to be honest, I'm not a model engineer-I only signed up because I need something made, so mod feel free to move this to the correct part of the forum.

Essentially what I need is a 300mm long morse taper extension sleeve that is 2mt both ends, and am finding it impossible to find one to buy.

I am a woodturner and don't have the kit or tools to do it, though hopefully one day I will.

Can anyone help m, or at least point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Dan.
