Anyone with a lathe fancy turning me two pieces please?

Hi everyone

I need two parts turning for my trike build. I am willing to pay, obviously.

I need two circles at 54.7mm wide x 12mm thick with a 12mm hole in the centre.

I'm sure this is simple for someone with the tools and the talent, but it is way beyond anything I can do.

Thanks
Dan

What material?


dan8400 - 14/10/17 at 07:58 AM

I should have put that shouldn't I?!

Steel please

Should be able to do that for you if you can wait till Monday or Tuesday. How closer tolerance do you need?

Will do it at work in Sleaford.

That would be lovely thank you. Tolerance needs to be as close as you can please. It's going to be an interference fit, but also held with a bolt.

Please let me know how much I owe you and how you want to send them or if I can collect

Not in any rush. This week is easily fast enough for me

Thanks
Dan

My digital calipers measured the hole at 54.8. So I asked for 54.7 to make sure it fitted. As long as it's not sloppy it should be fine

Thanks

Ok, so
So long as work allows I'll get round to it over the next few days, should be okay.

All done, Being steel they are quite heavy. Do you want me to post them or meet in Boston or somewhere around there? Won't be till end of the week though as on nights till Friday morning.

Picked these up today. They are absolutely spot on. Excellent fit and a very professional job.

Thank you Martin.

I will post pictures when I get them on the trike.

Thanks
