i got a question, on your drill press lathe.. thingy, what are you using to ..... lathe the metal?
Well i use a combination of files and sand paper mostly and for the heavy knockdown parts i actually use my angle grinder and sometimes my dremel to cut thin grooves. I run the drill press at the lowest speed and keep a soaking rag near by to cool the piece down as needed. I can't do any super cool like cuts but I can cut grooves, put bevels on things and shave down the OD of pipes if I need to.
thanks to everyone for the pats on the back I hope i can keep making sabers worthy to be noticed
Nice to see someone else doing the drill press lathe thing, it dangerous as all get out but effective, great work.
