Thanks JR49,
When I purchased the lathe the owner turned a piece of steel between the chuck and tail stock and the cut was very smooth. I have the same problem with aluminum on my mini lathe, so I am guessing it could be the index and tool holder, I will clean it up and try again.
Thanks
Joe
Same problem on two different lathes seems awfully coincidental. You said it's aluminum but not what type. I assumed it was 6061, but is it something else? They don't all turn the same.
