I would make one 2" long. Support it in the lathe and
bore it out then thread. Then shape the external face
and cut off the other.

I like it. Reusable too.

N-10, is that a Bearhug partnumber?

Wes

N-10 is a standard industry description. It is a strange
thread being 1.967in. o.d. and 18 tpi! The bearing this one
is intended for is 50mm bore. Look in MH for locknuts
and you'll find a listing of these sizes. This is a nice
schoolhouse lesson, btw.... What is the problem, what is
a viable solution, how do you machine it? ;)) phil
