Been playing with model airplanes 50 yrs and got the lathe bug, so picked up a grizzly 4x6 GO745 micro lathe
and have figured out how to make solid aluminum spinners from 3/4 6061.....and to my surprise have already sold some. only concerns are would like to find a QCTP to avoid making a shims, am thinking a OXA style might fit but dont wanna order one then have it be wrong. am also learning about tools and what they do which has been interesting and have a HSS set coming in the mail.
Have also looked at insert tools and think they might be good which BTW were used to make the spinners.
next project are some 6061 model car wheels, so stay tuned and keepem turnin
