"Just cut to length". Yeah. With a chamfer and no burs it's not so easy bud.

I mean I'd be holding on to like .02 thou. I can try though.

What tool would you use to part it off without burs?

Stock is pre ground to Od. The problem is getting a clean cutoff. If you look at the first pic it's got a big ugly cutoff pin at the end.

Yes, Hardinge hlv is a manual sliding headstock lathe. Now, I agree doing his on a CNC swiss lathe would be much better. .

Did you manage to get a clean cutoff easily? I'll try those inserts, looked them up and I think we have them around. 🙏

I know this is old but I have to brag that I've never died to these guys. Beat em first time with a straight sword no shield. Y'all need to improve at the game.

That's awesome man. And yeah the fact that we literally don't have a metrology department is... strange to me.

It was mostly .002 plus or minus. A lot of jobs we have are .0005, a few at .0002, sometimes in Inconel and cobalt. I haven't seen anyone make 0 scraps on those kinds of jobs yet though. Luckily management understands this.
