The Home Machinist!

Fourjc, I would probably have to make at least a hundred cuts on the piece that I have. Any idea how long a blade like that would last on SS?

My lathe will hold the tube, no problem there, but how do I part it? My lathe is a wood lathe of course, and it is a Jet Midi, so it is not even a large one at that. Forgive me if I am missing something obvious.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that! 0.035" wall thickness is what I meant to say.

It is T-304 steel with a 1.00" OD and .035" ID.

I am located in eastern Iowa.

It has been awhile since I have asked a question on this site, but I have one for you all now! I make waterfowl and predator calls that are often banded with a stainless steel band. In the past I had a friend cut them for me, but he no longer has the equipment to do it, and to be honest with you, hi...

It looks good to me! I wish I had as much room to work.
