By now I am sure you are wondering when will this front barrel support be done. Come on and lets make something else. Well, not quite yet. This is the last operation that will be completed on the cnc lathe.
Now the last step after this is the knurling and then machining the notch for the locking spring.
Making progress, looks good. (see,I do read your posts):)
Neat to see all your work on these.
Just out of curiosity why turn down the end before parting off?
