Pretty informative thank you. I'll be trying my hand at tackling my first stainless steel part, and it's going to require me to pre drill a hole for boring bar clearance. Pretty terrified honestly ha. I have a similar lathe, a wm210v, so we'll see how it goes.

A good video, I want to see you grind a drill now, I suggest you start with 1/2", its easier.
A suggestion, never leave a tool to dwell in/on the job and you could drop your speed for the bigger drills, you could have drilled Aluminium at that rpm. :-)

Great advise once again accurately checking my centre line is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while so maybe it’s time I do that.

I like those brass handles

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Cheers dude I’ve got a video of me making them. They make the lathe feel so much different.

keeping it short "machining joe" rolls of the tongue easier.

Thanks for the support and great suggestion might consider that 👍

I thought rpm for centre drill was OK, sometimes with centre drilling you actually go a bit faster to give your drill strength, but don't forget it is only HSS. something was chattering on your M/C are you exactly on c/l with your tailstock?

Spindle speed is too high?

[@dreammachince]

What lathe is this

[@MachiningwithJoe]

It is a Warco WM180

[@davidglennon4298]

Spindle way 2 fast for that 12mm bit..

[@MachiningwithJoe]
