It helps to have the right tools and have a lifetime of mistakes behind me.
The other is to be willing to except a certain level of flaws and knowing the reality of what your are going to do with it and that is use it.
I got tired of looking at the pitted rusty tool post that isn't really the tool post it is something else but will be the new tool post.
It was either sink or swim so I turned the pits out of it and it is still good enough to use.
It has a pretty good finish on it now.
All I have to do it make a stop collar that was lost somewhere in the machines life.
I turned the rod at 1000 RPM's at a 0.0013 per inch feed rate per revolution.
This turned the chips blue they were so hot.
When you see this kind of chip your production is right and the finish is good.
