Thread: Blank barrel

At the back of the lathe is the setup for rifling register of the six groves, a bracket with a arm is bolted in place and the arm has a pin that locates and locks in a round disc with the evenly spaced holes. Starting at number one each grove is cut till no more swarf comes out, then on to the next one.


When the cutter comes out the swarf is removed and cutting fluid is applied for the next cut and a supply of lubricating fluid is on hand for the operator.
