I require a couple of spacers to be made up, can anyone be of assistance?
Less than 90mm od iirc

89.1 od

84.1 id

Width tbc, but about 10-15mm

@cheb would be a good shout,though he hasn't been about for a while. (hope he's ok)

@Screwdriver would be another possibility.

Brickie, Kendo and Dern are all proud lathe owners. I think Eclipse may be too.

Nice little project for Dern and his new lathe.

I’ve only just started using it today so I need more practice before making something to spec. Sorry.

Also, you need to specify material op.

Mild, stainless, brass, ally.
It's to locate a wheel centre on a hub so not material sensitive.....unless galvanic corrosion is included.
Doesn't have to be to the ⅒mm
Happy to be a guinea pig

Brass or ally would be perfect starter materials.

Have you seen the price of brass bar .

As for the spacers , they are a bit large for me , i have no bar that diameter .

I'll dig through my random materials box and see if I have anything of that size outer. I turned a part last week from memory 84mm outer - which makes me think I'd know if I had something that kinda size.

BTW: I don't class myself as a proud lathe owner, I regard taking on this sort of thing as more of a dirty habit.....

Ah. No.....and I hadn't paid much attention to the size either.
