Well I dove in head first and bought myself a lathe, tooling, and measuring tools to chamber barrels in my basement shop! I purchased an old Rockwell 11x25” lathe that was a one owner machine that was used by a fab shop owner who made repairs and parts for himself on it, so it appears to be in great condition. I plan to make some spiders for it as well. I believe having a lathe at home will be much more convenient than having to drive to work to use Pierce’s machine and with having my own stuff I can do whatever I want with it and to it. I’m very excited and I can’t wait to get it all set up and going!
Below is the list of everything I’ve got on the way for this project. I have more things to add and I have other useful machinists tools already on hand. I’m open to suggestions on tooling or anything else helpful. Thanks!
-Rockwell 11x36 lathe
-AXA QCTP with multiple holders
-VNMG style turning tool
-ER16 style threading tool
-6mm boring bar
-eBay floating reamer holder
-Digital 0-1” and 1-2” mics
-Mitutoyo 0-6” digital depth mic set
-0-1” and 1-2” thread mics
-Interapid 312B-15 indicator
