Slow as you go for speed.

I took my Stewart system and put on a carbide cutter I traded my machinist
neighbor for. Worked well, though I suppose your HSS scraping stuff would
do as well. Used some of the liquid _soap_ they sell for hands 1/1 with
water as lube. Note, I said soap, not detergent.

I know some people have turned aluminium on a wood lathe.

What tool did you use and what rpm. What I want to do is about 4 inches
in diameter.

It is actually the outboard stock rotating handle on my lathe. It is
very slightly off centre and I want to adjust it.
