Brass is such a nice material to cut on a lathe

I run a Hyundai HiT28, a Mazak QT28 and a Mazak QT1, we got an ancient Capston manual lathe too which uses about a gallon of hydraulic oil evertime we use it but its still fun  :laugh:
Made my wheel spacers at work, done a design for an alu gearknob which I might get done at some point if we weren't so fecking busy  :rolleyes:
Mazak's are good gear :cool:
Good to be busy with all the redundancey around in engineering :smiley:

we have a pile of colchesters, but one really old bantam which is marked out in imperial but so smooth to use
