Big Lathe?
mr.mindless:
Does anyone have a lathe that will pass 2.5" stock to consider making our own 7075 suspension links with? Since Matt has the right taps, I figure it's worth pricing material and comparing to the finished product, if someone we know can actually thread them...
rejeep:
would a brake lathe work?
mr.mindless:
I've never actually seen a brake lathe - but I wouldn't expect they have auto feed for tapping or drilling operation, they're pretty much just set up for honing and trueing aren't they?
mr.mindless:
quick google image search and I'm going to give that a definite "no"
M4wdFab:
i would like to upgrade my lathe to something like this. be nice to pass 3" for drive shafts. trouble is they get BIG and HEAVY.
