How Would You Make This Part.

It turned out I did not need to make a fixture to hold the part for the radius turning. I was able to hold it in the 3-jaw with plenty of clearance. I locked down the radius turning tool and used it to cleanup the outside diameter. Worked great with no chatter.

Once I figured out the correct speed & feed, turning the radius was a breeze with tool. Cleanup was done with some 320 wet/dry and then a scotch bright pad.

You do some fine work sir. Really enjoy reading your posts.
 
Thanks Paco!

If that is your shop in your avatar I'm sooooo jealous. You can see floor! LOL
 
Nice job, I new you could do it all on the lathe. I was even going to say it could have all been done on a mill. Most woodworking router bits will hold up well for aluminum. With a rotary table piece of cake. Just like the lathe. If you work out how your gonna do it ,, just do it . The out come would have I bet been the same. Nice job looks great.
