Gonna have to to give that a try. You would be surprised how much a 1 1/4 inch stainless bar can flop around. Did you weld chips to that carbide drill? Lye and some water will eat that off without hurting the carbide.
Yeah, I am still learning the limits of carbide drills. I just saw your video on doing the Lye thing yesterday but I had already left the chip welded drill in sulfuric acid for a day and it did the trick too. I did leave an interesting blueish oxide on the drill... it locked pretty cool
No problem, I was going to make the spindle liner out of 6061 at first but this cost me under $20 for 8 feet of 2" UHMW and I wanted to try Machining the stuff as I heard it sucks
I used to run an SL-20. I used alu tube and put rings around to OD to make it match the spindle bore
@@paulnorman6061 cheaper and probably better than the overpriced ones Haas sells, nice
Nice work. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
that's cool, thanks

Oh man I'm definitely going to do this whenever I need a new spindle liner! Thanks for sharing!

I love that intro haha. I 3d printed spindel linerz
did you really? lol, cool. I really do need to try to use my 3d printer more
I 3D print mine as well. PETG with 25% infill. set the 5+ up and let it run a full set all at once. LOVED your video. cheers
Cool video. Are these liners to stop the stock whipping in the spndle?
yeah... I was turning some 12mm Rod and was getting chatter as the bar flexed in the spindle tube and this quick plastic liner solve that problem
