cubastreet Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have a lathe, but it's a little myford so only really good for machining struts on r/c cars. useful post this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hmm? Certainly big enough I'm in Te Horo though, and the old thing is a bit shagged out. Depends if you want high precision work or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesae101 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I envy your garage size / and lathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorensin Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 I to envy both the garage size and the lathe That is quite a way to go. All im looking at doing it having the thread on the strut extended, under the end of the thread at the top the metal steps out to a thicker rod I just want that machined down so I can tap th thread further. Also may want a couple little locating shoulders made up. I'm sure its level of accuracy would be high enough for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
