in this article, Bob describes how to chuck something like a 2"
washer (using a coupling) so that one can reduce the washer's
diameter.
I'm staring at a piece of 11/16" 4130 steel tubing, three inches long
which is supposed to slip into a piece of 3/4 OD tubing and act as an
inner sleeve. this inner-sleeve-to-be needs to be turned just a
scooch so that it will fit.
It seems to me that there must be a simply way to do this; I
immediately go to to the most Rube Goldberg arrangement I can dream
up.
At the moment I'm thinking of turning down two washers so that they
matches the ID of the work piece; that will keep the work centered on
a piece of threaded rod.
Open to other ideas - MIke
How much needs to be taken off?
