Hi Guys,
Another one of my infernal questions, this is quite basic lathe technique again. I'm hoping to reach a level where I don't have to ask so much. I really do appreciate all the help from HMEM members and I wouldn't have made half the progress without you guys.
Say you want to turn a shaft with 2 diameters, or a cup to retain a bearing shell, where a face meets a diameter, externally or internally. How do you get the face to meet up with the diameter? I've seen something about an undercut but not the "how to." Also a radiused corner, well that I can understand by looking at a motor crankshaft. Does one use the same tool for finishing the face, the diameter or bore and the undercut? What is the sequence of operations?
Thanks so much for all your help (again), maybe you'll all still make a model engineer of me.
