I've always been asked which tool is best for light and medium lathe lathe work.
Especially for turning internal machining. There are different chisels, only which one is most suitable for turning cylinder liners, for example.
I don't know the correct English translation for the tools, but have added them as images.
For external machining when turning long length steel without support from the tailstock, I get a lot of vibration and is accompanied by a lot of squeaking and ugly machined surface. What did work was to always support it with the tailstock when machining long length (more than diameter).
My lathe is a Myford ML7, I have already checked the radial play of the spindle with a dial (method like shown in Youtube link). Around 0,02 mm measuring on the 3-jaw chunk when applied force on the chunk. The spindle bearings are not new and showed some wear. But I want to be sure if it's my way of machining or fixing of the materials.
Other thing, I want to machine a cylinder block. There has to be a space where there can flow some coolant or oil around the cylinder liner. I can find tool like shown in picture 4, can these do the job or are there better ones to do the job? This is new for me
