Thread: Why is this guys mini lathe parting off so well? |

Hello i stumbled upon this thread while looking on the internet. The only blade that has been working for me are those indexable SPB blades with the 2mm inserts. They require water or oil but they have been the only parting tool to work. HSS sharpened/unsharpened won't work for me. The lathe bed beneath the headstock is an open C section to house the motor and it flexed like a ******************** By chance i ended up turning a steel rod, 1 mm pass: stop cutting, the rod and cutter start to ring as per normal behavior; but i need to just press with my thumb (firmly but gently) on the headstock to remove the ring. With just the thumb you can flex the headstock up to 3/4 houndredths, if you press with the palm of the hand you end up with 15/20. So there you have it. Edited By JasonB on 17/12/2020 17:34:34 |
