Spent less than an hour in the shop today. I made one spacer out of 316 stainless steel. It's Ø 35mm O.D. x Ø 20.25 I.D. x 14.5mm long. Notice the 0.5mm deep relief on the smaller O.D.. Tricky little feature to get with no chatter marks, but the 2mm wide groove-turn-cutoff tool I used worked great.

BTW Darren, those are some VERY nice looking welds. They appear to had deep weld preps and penetration. reminds me of some sub-arc welded parts I used to work with. The welds were 1-1/4" deep, and prior to beginning the process they welded on 3" long pieces of angle iron to each end of the weld pass so they'd have full height welds right to the end of the blocks. I had to machine everything flush and square after they torch but most of the angle iron off.
Your drill press (pillar drill) is also very nice to have that swivel. I'll have to look and see if mine can do that. I haven't seen it out in the open in years. It's buried in that wood shed outside the shop.
