Hi, I'd like t try and turn x8 of the attached photo in Nylatron. Problem is the last time I used a lathe was during my apprenticeship 30 odd years ago. My mate has a nice small lathe, but doesn't know how to use it but I reckon I'll be ok with most of the techniques required. However, can anyone tell me the correct order in fabrication? Machine outside dia, then bore internal diameter, create taper etc etc. Just to give you an idea the overall dimensions are 34mm overall dia, 15mm long. Internal hole dia 15mm. Also what speed is recommended for Nylatron. Something else I'm not sure of is using a parting tool and what they look like. Any pointers here would be great.
And finally I'm in the middle of a car rebuild and finding more and more reasons to own a lathe so if somebody has a nice up and together 3" to 5" lathe for sale I might be interested. I'm in the Hampshire area.
Many thanks guys.
