I didn't guess but I perhaps should have done since the last time I turned nylon was for a loo seat hinge pin. I found that the sharper inserts intended for aluminium cut this stuff nicely, not so much of a burr.
I think it was me that mentioned rust off the wood. Such a simple solution. Also, we yearly change out the gear oil from the lathe and mill. A light coating of that would have the same affect. Cheers Alan👍
G'day Alan. Nice bit of turning with your nylon. Good to see a workshop doing constructive repairs, Imagine doing your business going sideways. 😂🎉😢😮😅😊 Well done for a Dynamic Finish 😂😢😮😅😊
you are using carbide on nylon? Man, Get some HSS it grinds so much sharper and you get a way better finish and it doesn't spring away from the tool like it will with carbide.

Hi Alan, watching you make these with such precision and accuracy I was sure you were making some parts for NASA or BAE Systems. Lol 😁 Cheers Nobby
Thanks
Hello Allan, I never expected that at the very end, that blew me away. Cheers from me. 😷👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hello Allan
You can bore a hole in the backend of the wood and insert led or cheaper stuff like a steelbar in there to act as a counterweight. Cheers
good idea
Thanks loved it
Glad you enjoyed it
I find CCGT inserts to be good for turning Nylon. Same shape as CCMT but with high rake & polished top surface.
Thanks for the tip

Great point!
Looks like you need a 3D printer!
I was turning perspex, slightly trickier, can you do one on perspex please?
Hi Have a look at this I did some perspex turning @ 11 minutes ua-cam.com/video/7-P9L2d84_E/v-deo.html
If you need any more nylon 66 Alan let me know I have lots 36mm dia FOC I am probably local to you.
Thanks but I have about 12" left over
