Three or four times? Why, that means it's almost new!
Mine was abused several times a day for decades, coming from a school.

yep thats abused, I have fixed a lot of the problems with mine, but I would like to get on with some of the things that I want to do besides work on the lathe, and I know that the finish problem is mostly me and not the tooling or the lathe. but for the life of me I can't get a HSS bit to leave a mirror finish no matter how long I hone and polish the edge or the size of the radius on the point

It's easier just to get a shiny metal camera.

Straying away from the shiny metal camera's for a moment.....
Pray tell, what exactly did you make it for? (Other than general chambering.) Whatcha building?

well for one I want to put a 7.62X25 round into a British Sterling, and I don't think that they make a barrel for it in that size, other reason was to just see if I could make it, it looked simple enough I made the thing off of two pictures that I was given permission to use by another builder on weapons guild (thanks Moleman) he says it works as good as the high dollar ones and the nice thing is it only cost about 25 bucks to make even if you have to buy the blank MT Arbor.
guess you could say I made it to see if I could and so I would have one, I have several weapons related projects in the works at the moment but funds got tight so I'm sorta taking my time on em now.
plus it will work with any reamer.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Cool. I like the 7.62x25 idea. Stout little round.
I did just the opposite and converted one of my CZ52's to 9x19.
We like different stuff don't we... I'm working on a 9mm PPs 43.
I figured, why not?
So Very, Very, "Different"
But I've gotta say, I met some normal people this one time, and didn't much like em.
Best regards Rick
