Making a revolving centre (part1)

[@5tr41ghtGuy]

Nice video showing several techniques related to turning tapers!

[@jrkorman]

Very nice little project - will be looking forward to part 2.

I like the idea of using a ball bearing in the tailstock end. Would it help the clearance problem if you make a cup shape support for the bearing to increase the available space. Thanks for all the good work and videos, inspiring!

Thanks for sharing that's a new Idea for me using the end mill for a good flat hole all the best from John in Texas

[@gagasmancave8859]

Cool work 👍

As an apprentice learning the trade of Machining, welding, fabricating and fitting at Robt Cort and sons Ltd in Reading (50 years ago) I was taught that the Isle of Wight method was the best for identifying the determined size of a bearing, ie.....Inside....Outside....Width......IOW. Have you or any other viewers done it this way?

[@enotsengineering]

Hi Rich You can see in part two I've put a comment adding the bearing details, the sizes given are I.O.W. Thanks for your comments Alan

[@holmes230536]

Alan, not sure if you are aware but centre drills can be had with a radius instead of an angle form for producing morse tapers, just a bit of trivia,

[@enotsengineering]

Thanks Walter I know they made them years ago but I haven't seen one for ages

[@holmes230536]

Alan, I just did a search and came up with this site, I have no interest other than helping, www.hassay-savage.com/HSS-Radius-Type-Center-Drills-p/hs-0058.htm

Hi Walter thanks for the info

[@Lordcarlox]

Muy buen proyecto!

[@kaieteurcanada]

Dont understand why all the shifting of the tailstock to do the taper... touching here not touching there, seems like guesswork. ... no?

[@fpreston9527]

Hi Alan, looking back at your "headstock handle, expanding mandrel" video . What size hex stock did you use? Thanks

[@enotsengineering]

Hi The hex size was 0.922" AF but thats not important. just use some stock that you can fit a spanner to so you can turn the mandrel. Regards Alan
