Need a 1/2" round Steel Part Turned....?

[EmilioG]

I don't have a lathe yet and would like a small tool made if someone has the time.
It's a spring loaded scribing tool for a mill. It's from Lautards MBSR. Used to follow a scribed part
by chucking this spring loaded "point" in a collet. Fairly simple design.

It looks and works like a Tapping centering tool but smaller.
Please PM and I can furnish all the drawings, materials, etc...

7" long. 1/2" OD

If you have a mill why not just use the mill to turn the part needed? Mount the stock in the spindle and the cutting tool in the vice.

Not as accurate as a lathe.
I can compensate for the work.

Also, one end needs to be turned down to .375” and chamfered. A mill is not a good substitute for a lathe.

Send me the drawings. Might be a fun project.
