BTW, I see no where that the spindle diameter is mentioned for that ring mandrel. I took a guess at 1" - 8 since it's a common woodworking size, but that might not be correct.
Actually, I found an old app that calculates the the gear specs to cut 8 TPI threads on a HF mini.The blank might not work, he doesn't have 8 tpi on that lathe for single pointing Though perhaps someone could make it for him.
I comes in both sizes:BTW, I see no where that the spindle diameter is mentioned for that ring mandrel. I took a guess at 1" - 8 since it's a common woodworking size, but that might not be correct.
That's what I was thinking.Can't turn an 8 TPI thread?
That would be a fun project. The blank part looks kinda short. Not sure a ring, a tapered bushing and a nut would fit very comfortably. I'll look for a long blank.LMS has a blank arbor that might be suitable. Seems to be backordered, but the date expected is Jan 31,2022.
MT3 blank arbor Price is very good. Would be a great project. Is even drilled and tapped for a drawbar. Even if one messed up, the raw stock is pretty inexpensive.
