Hi All,
First off let me say, I'm not trying to take business away from anyone. This is just an idea I came up with when a Friend sent me some "between center bushings". It was a way to be able to use the bushings and it was free because I had the old mandrel laying around. Actually, the mandrel was bent near the knurled nut end (tail end).
So I cut it off and left about a inch and a half of shaft. Then I just mounted the MT end in the lathe and milled the tip. I got as close as I could to a 60 degree tip. I also used a dial indicter as I milled it to keep it as true as possible. It came out to with in a thousandth. With the BCB (between center bushings) on the lathe, they are very close also. With in a thou. So, here is a couple of pictures.
And again, I am not trying to put anybody out of business, and if this offends anyone, I apologize.
Thanks for looking.
