Re: Broaching guides
Someone explained that you can easily do it on the minilathe by using it as a shaper. So why go on about buying gadgets (let alone gadgets that cost $160!) We all have minilathes, so I suggest you

Re: Broaching guides
I have made about three of these guides and they worked. So I believe that makes me a psuedo-beginner-expert by you-tube standards. :) The slot for the broach needs to be cut such that the portion

Re: Mexican users of 7x12 lathe
Yes, an angle grinder is a great idea. (I think I've actually done it that way before, but I forgot to mention it!) There are two real problems with using barbell plates. The skin is the worst one.

Re: Broaching guides
The set you show is $160 and does not include a 4mm broach. I bought the 3mm and 4mm broaches for $30. I need to make the one guide since there is no 28mm guide for a 4mm broach. I have the guide

Re: Broaching guides
I am putting a 4mm keyway in a 28mm bore. I do not think buying one is an option.

Re: Mexican users of 7x12 lathe
When I use barbell weights, I clamp one to a sawhorse (outside) & use an angle grinder to remove the skin before putting it on the lathe. Roy

Re: Broaching guides
Hello, Paul! There is an easy method of cutting internal keyways that does not require a broach. Have you considered using your lathe as an internal shaper? All it requires is a boring bar smaller
