Got any round 1.5" steel stock that can be hardened? I need to build a tool that's about 16-24" long, but I'll need to bore it out. Ideally it would be tubing already with a 0.85" to 0.95" bore, but if it was a smaller bore I'm sure I could have someone bore it out on a lathe before I take it...

bumping this up - looking for something even smaller if possible. Must be a bench top lathe, but something bigger than the super small hobby ones. 8 or 9 inch swing minimum, 20" bed minimum, I'd say. But CHEAP is the name of the game here. Can trade a gun for the right machine ;)

Thanks for the heads up, I see it but it's just way too small for what I want

Yea I've already decided to make a spider for whatever lathe I get Pretty much a required item

I saw a video of a home built lathe a guy made. I think he used a head stock for another lathe, and used a motorbike transmission for the gear changes. Obviously wouldn't work for a gear box but I bet a gearbox for another lathe could be added with enough work Lots of work lol

Lol that's probably because you expanded the metal lol Though I guess I wonder, they are made for battle use in full auto. Well, I guess actually militaries generally have a "duty cycle" for various firing modes and situations. I know I've loaded up all eight of my mags and blasted through all...
