So I'm planning to make this:
It's a holder for a piece of Mr. Clean magic Eraser and Blue Sticky Tack. It's used to clean the sytlus tip on a record player. Believe it or not, they work really well for cleaning baked/caked on stuff on the Stylus. I've seen it first hand clean stuff off the stylus that commercial.retail cleaners won't even touch.
It's all pretty simple lathe work except that flat bar piece. I've got a lathe and mill, but neither is CNC.
I'm trying to figure how to round out the ends of the small flat bar.
I'm not good enough with the manual wheels on the mill to make it cut a round shape like that.
I've though maybe make straight cuts as close to the radius as possible and finish with a file, but that seems kind of tedious when I have the machines and tooling at hand.
What process woudl you use in my situation?
