Hi all.
For those with experience of the small metal lathe, looking for your advice on turning AL round bar stock, 25mm dia and 120mm long. The stock tends to be displaced in the 4 jaw from the cutting forces. I'm generally only taking a small amount off in each pass, and the tooling is good quality carbide inserts.
I've tried and tried to ensure tool tip is on centre line. But, still have this issue .
Any thoughts? Thanks
