My first lathe project

[AlfromNH]

the first project from my new-to-me lathe. I’m pretty happy with how it came out, I didn’t make a drawing, just made it up as i went along. The knurling I was a little nervous about, but I have no complaints about the result. So the journey begins…

It’s for adjusting the air/fuel mix screw on a Bing carb, btw.

Here’s the commercial version

It looks great! Very nice job on the knurl. Is that a screwdriver insert pressed inside?

....and so it begins.

It’s not pressed, it JB Welded. I intended to pin it but discovered the bit is hardened and couldn’t be drilled.

Thanks everyone!
