 :Jester: ...actually the growth lines on the concast bronze alloy roundstock bar material as shown below are similar in a technical concept to growth rings in the heart of a tree trunk  :happyreader: .....

The former by length......the latter by girth...... :ThumbsUp: .....Derek

I spent the first day of my vacation sailing model sail boats with my daughter....spending time with my son and painting my daughters bed room......once it was all done...well it was 8 pm

I ran for the shop!
OK ....I took a good look at Sheila....the bronze "bahhh".....13" long....and couldn't bring myself to hack a piece off....knowing full well there would be waste......so I dropped the piece into my Logan...and it went all the way to the bottom of the spindle taper .....about 4 inches of overhang from my 3 jaw chuck....it'll take it I say.. And she did just fine

I parted 2 gear blanks off ready for turning the OD.    OK so now I need an arbor.

In hind sight, the wacked together arbor I had was not really up to the task.  I really wanted the other end to be supported while I was turning and cutting the teeth.   I have a 3/8" arbor for the mill, but at what they cost I didn't want to grab the back end of the W12 shank....I fiquired a 3/8" shank arbor would go into my lathe collet of my mill collet....so I had at making an quality arbor for the task

Here are the parts


the arbor is 3/8-40 thread and gave me a chance to dial in my die to match my tap.
The wrench flats were cut with my filing rest. 

I mounted all this up in the lathe and turned the OD to 1.3125 in preparation for gear cutting.




Now I can use the overarm for the mill dividing attachment also.....might as well use the tooling I have

Progress.....
