This one is maybe way out there... But with this group, you never know.
I have some unusual low CTE, lithium-aluminosilicate ceramic glass, and I'm wondering what equipment might be available to OD grind (centerless grinding???) this to a smaller diameter.
Would need to take a 40" long rod from ~1" down to say 5/8" or so. Have been thinking about building a grinder to grind other materials similarly, but haven't gotten serous about that yet. Also thinking about grinding threads and other features into this material...
Any ideas? Concerns? Suggestions? Questions?
