Reply:You now have opened up a whole new world having a lathe.You list of projects has just gone way up.Start scrounging up metal you will find a use for it and will be happy you did. I had this brass shaft (with a slight bend in it) for years and just made an adapter for a new tig torch for a short section of it.have funTom Attached Images
