I recently got a Taig Micro Lathe II and have lots of projects I'd like to make, so I figured I'd put them all in one place
My current set up, minus the quick change tool post, as they are sending me replacement parts for it.
The first thing somewhat close to a bead that I made
Tried to make a pair of beads, .5" and .25" long. Would have made a third small one, but I screwed up the measurements on the bevels somehow. Still turned out decent though.
Sadly these aren't polished. The bevels are leaving a burr and I'm hoping to use Grath's tumbler for polishing. These and the near future beads are out of 485 leaded naval brass.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4
Trying to do the set of 3 still and make the bigger of the 3 today. Took me about 4 hours, though it sure didn't feel so long. Besides the hole, which I currently only have normal drill bits at my disposal, everything is within .01" of what I wanted.
.05" bevels and grooves with .1" landings (or whatever they are called) and a hole which ended up around .23" with a chamfer.
A comparison to the previous bead (supposed to be same dimensions).

Saw your sig line. I think it's cool that as fucktarded as we are here, there are still religious people who don't give a fuck. Thanks!
Unless you do give a fuck. Then...

I must say that confused me a lot... I think of it more as a motivational quote.

Your beads look good. Are you having fun with it, or is it complicated? It always struck me a precision machining. That takes patience.

It's fun. Takes a while though, and measuring is a pain . Got a protractor for angles but still find it a bit hard to measure them. I have plans to make some pen kits for my family, marlin spikes, beads, magnets, and other gadgets

I was talking more in terms of hanging out on this forum where we are completely immature and make fun of everything. You're quiet, but you're interacting while other more "uppity" folks would raise the crucifix and run in terror.

Ah, ya I'm not quite as religious as my grandma would like I like a lot of the hobbies that are seen on here though, and people who do the same things have a similar personality. You can't escape it so embrace it to an extent. A lot of people don't know I hang out around these types of places though.
