What is the largest piece you have turned?

I have a 10" TV-36 and here is photo of my largest diameter part.



I had to mount my parting tool in the boring bar in order to reach. The cut did chatter a bit, but it worked.

Looks like you "got er done"!

What ever it takes!

What's the part for?

Check you out! Is that an Atlas 12?

It's a 10" atlas and the aluminum pipe is about 8.6" OD.

I will be using the parted disc to build a steady rest. I didn't need it to be quite that big, but it's what I could find that would work.

Are you going to use cam followers for the part to ride on?

No, I have been planning to keep it pretty simple and use brass fingers inserted into the ends of some 1/2" threaded rod. I was inspired by this thread. http://www.hobby-machinist.com/showthread.php/5472-Steady-Rest?highlight=make+steady+rest
