It was a good morning to head for the shop and make an arbor or two since it is well below zero outside. One was
made of steel and the other aluminum. There are quite a few operations to make these but nothing really difficult.
I used a 5C collet holder in the lathe and transfered the part to the spin indexer for the milling work. I will likely make
a few more as they are fun to make and quite useful at times. The ends could easily be machined down to a smaller
size if needed for something of odd size. The aluminum one is 3/4 inch and the steel one is 5/8 inch diameter.
