Hi folks,
My newbie question for the day: I'm needing to cut a 7/8" radius in some 1" x 1.5" x 6" long aluminum flat bar using my 7x12 mini lathe w/milling attachment (ya I know - far from an ideal set up, but it's all I have to work with until I can afford a milling machine). Problem is I can't find an MT3 end mill holder for my 7/8" ball-nose end mill (7/8" shank).
Would it be possible to just order one of these http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2393&category=10 and machine it to fit my end mill?
. I would think you can, but thought I better ask first.
