Hi, I wonder if I could be trained to use the lathe.
I need to remove a thin layer of a rod (8.8mm ->8.3 mm) so that it could fit a linear ball bearing. The material of the rod is steel. I also would like to learn how to drill holes in the center of the rod.
@rsim @Gear105
Thank you in advance for helping

Hello, @Emerson @Rebel_without_Clause
Unfortunately I am unable to train anyone on the lathe for the foreseeable future.
Wondering where the four jaw chuck for the lathe is, currently only a three jaw is installed
Should be on the lathe base in the plastic yellow bag.

@Emerson @Stefan @Rebel_without_Clause @hughl87 I can run a training session on Sunday (July 9th) from 9am-2pm (it might finish up an hour or so earlier, depending on how things go - but leave the full 5 hours open as it is often necessary). Please let me know if you can attend.

Yep! See you all then. Just a heads up that you’ll have to remove any jewelry for the training (and whenever using the lathe),

Thank you Richard! Excellent training!
Thanks @rsim , very helpful class.
It looks like someone has used the exact same machine for metal spinning just with a different cross slide setup
Someones also tried it on a basic wood lathe
