Turning small diameter

[gerritv]

Old inkjet printers are a great source of small diameter rods. I recently recycled 3 HP inkjets, netted me a nice selection of 12, 8, 6 and 5 mm rods and even a few short 2 mm ones.

Oh Dear,

Been throwing away old printers. The next printer will be recycled.
Thanks for the tip.These rods are of good finish and quality.

Old CD drives could be interesting too - for example laser travels on pretty precise and straight 3mm rod - AFAIR 60mm long
