Tonight Jeff, my other teacher, showed me a new setting and helped me to understand the numbers on the dial better. So I turned 2 new steel rods, and they started looking better. They came out smoother than previous ones. The second rod came out shinier thanks to a higher turning speed and lower cutting feed.
Next week I finish step one on the 2nd rod and then step both rods down to req'd diameters. Then I will have 3 rods to thread and, hopefully, 3 projects checked off!
Trying to get caught up since the obe piece went wierd (see photo).
