Noob Lathe Q: Turning between centers
For class I'm turning an aluminum flywheel. 3" diameter. The steps
a face the sides, drill & ream the center, press onto a mandrel, turn the outside and sides. Anyway, after pressing it onto the mandrel (yes, I cleaned out the cutting oil) I've found that I have to go very slowly or the cutting tool will grab the wheel and spin it on the mandrel. What are some good ways to deal with this problem? I already crammed it as far onto the mandrel as I'm comfortable with. I'm tempted to just loctite the damn thing. -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net http://web2.airmail.net/thegoat4/ |
