Hi All,
I'm new here and i describe myself as a toolalholic, a bikeaholic, an alcoholic (at times) and love going FAST. I live in the west of Ireland not far from the Wild Atlantic Way. Fantastic biking roads and stunning scenery
To support some of these very desirable attributes i have a need to make parts and and bits and pieces.
For the bikes (BSA) im making nuts, bolts, studs, axles etc in Stainless Steel (305) I have a capstan lathe and making the nuts from Stainless hex is a PITA. I keep wearing the parting tool out in one cut, this no matter what speed i use. I tried a double ended carbide tipped toolholder out of desperation.
First try it broke and the tip disappeared into the swarf. second try it bent and the tip shot out into the workshop somewhere. This is on 1/2" Hex bar.
Anybody any pointers on how to overcome this Problem?
