Q:

One Piece Blod Stem

Got my lathe all figured out and setup. They forgot to ship the drill chuck with it so it’s hard to do anything on a lathe without one. So I started making one piece stems for my Blod valves. All started with seeing how good stainless would cut. Made this one a little short for what I want to do. Need to support with a center, but that also requires a drill chuck. When I’m done I will have a .050″ bigger hole in the stem. Looking for 160 fpe with air.

Lathe looks good, hopefully you meet your goal of 160fpe with the one piece valve stem.

So you finally got the lathe… awesome, just awesome
