Thread: Cutting a slot in a turned piece

All very useful advice thank you everyone.

Yes, I did think a 2mm dia milling tool looked pretty "snappy"

You might also be able to use a very small slot drill in your mill. Such as these sold by RDG Metric Slot Drills

Thanks Graham, thats a good idea.

Might also be worth mentioning to hold them lengthways in a machine vice while slotting, if they were held on the diameter there is a possibility of them either closing up on the cutter or flying out the vice, sorry if I am teaching grandma to suck eggs.

Good point Baz, thanks, im pretty new to anything other than basic turning and drilling operations.

Hi, I restore old motorcycles. I sometimes have to make custom ferrules for control cables. These are simply turned and drilled mild steel bar.

The turning and drilling is easy but what would be the best way to cut the slot?

I have tried hacksaw and small files but its not very neat and a bit of a bodge.

I have a Myford ML-7 with a collet chuck. I also have an Amolco milling attachment that will take the Myfor collet chuck. Also a milling slide.

This is the sort of thing:

Ferrules

That looks like a Myford ML7 lathe with screw cutting gearbox.
IF it works and IF it is all there and IF it is not damaged then that MIGHT fetch in excess of £500. Hard to tell without a clear view of it.
 
There are traders advertising in Model Engineering magazine who buy old "live steam" models, I would try callling them.
