Few vis of home made lathe abuse

[tool-me-up]

Giving the lathe some abuse just to see how sturdy it was


parting 1 1/4" ally


quick finish and parting of 25-ish mm steel


showing differance between a rough turning tool and a finishing tool, then seein how fast i can part the steel



pointed, or angled parting blade on steel


massive cut in ally, just for fun....


and one in steel just for good measure


DONT DO THIS WITH A DECENT LATHE!
