The first "thing" that I ever machined. What a great resource HM is. I faced, turned, drilled and threaded on my G8688 lathe after much reading. It was great fun. I didn't even break anything...yet.



 
Cool, looks good. What is it?
 
Thanks. Just an exercise in machining. No purpose just trying some different operations for the first time to see if I could actually do it.

Hey, you faced it, turned to a shoulder, chamfered the edges cleanly, center drilled and tapped it accurately enough to accept a standard screw so basically you performed all four of the basic lathe operations in this one piece - what's to laugh at? You done good, Terry!
 
well then its perfect. good job, its always easier to hit the size if there's not one. bill
