On a lathe!
Used a lathe before but not for turning metal so bear with me while I try to explain this...
Basically, Imagine you are looking at an M20 bolt... From the head of the bolt measuring down 30mm I need the bolt to stay at M20. But from 30mm down to the end of the bolt I need to strip the thread off and make it something like M14 but with no thread.
Also need a domed end on the bolt...
Its hard to explain but I shall get a photo as soon as I can with an explanation of its use.
Please also excuse the crappy MS paint job I've done... Also if there is anyone on here that is in or near the London area who has a metal lathe and is willing to show me how to do this.... I would be eternally grateful
Muchos thankos in advance.
