HAFCO AL360 Metal Lathe

Added a metal lathe to my tool collection. 

Fitted a digital readout

Have a go at some O-ring grooves and surface finishes on Aluminium.


Making some simple aluminium adaptors.


Turning down some A-size Vee belt pulleys to accept a B-size belt for the motor upgrade and VFD installation into the lathe.


Having a go a some pipe trimming and weld prep.


Jumping on the TIG welder for the first time in a while.


Making a small ball mill to be used in the lathe for crushing clay to make green sand for casting aluminium.
