![]() I haven't actually checked the book but just wondering how many components there are that can be cut on a lathe. We have a lathe at work that never gets used so would make a good little project during quiet times.

![]() Mushroom inserts, threaded tubes for all four upper wishbones, track rod extensions, upper seatbelt bosses. Suspension bush crush tubes.
Also, you could true up suspension bush tubes.

![]() I bought this old clunker years ago and have never stop using it. Aside of the stuff already mentioned this is used for making props cleaning off or facing discs ,making/facing off flywheels ,drums and just about anything that will fit in the chuck. I have even put an alloy wheel in it with the gap bed out and polished up the rim by holding varoius grades of paper and polish against it while spinning

![]() Haha it looks exactly the same as ours, is it colchester student?
oh well good to know, I will have to have a look and see what I can come up with. Had a quick look at the drawings on here for the mushrooms but would have no idea how to do the off centre part. Is that done some other way? |

![]() Offset mushrooms would be done in a 4 jaw chuck.

![]() Oh yeah, on a 4 jaw chuck, each clamp is adjusted individually so I just centre the part part needed.
I don't think I ever used the 4 jaw so its all new to me. |
