Thought I was being clever this time and started turning a piece on a long hunk of 2" stock - so I'd have plenty of margin for error.? See photo: ?
Next step is to drill a hole through the center of the turned section, starting from the tailstock end.? Unfortunately, in my cleverness, I didn't account for the length of the chuck and the drill - I either need a longer lathe bed or a shorter set up.
So, the next step now is to cut off the turned section and re-mount it in my chuck.? Which leads to my question.
I've gotten pretty good at centering a piece in my 4-jaw chuck, using DI.? But, in this case, I need to center the counter sunk hole (where the tailstock is currently mounted) and also make sure the axis of the hole I drill will be parallel with the axis of the turned portion (IOW, make the axis of the turned portion parallel to the bed).? The turned down portion is about 2" long, so if it is not aligned parallel with the bed the hole will be off by quite a bit.? Any advice on the most efficient way to achieve this alignment?.

You need to use the DI in two places. 1. on the park very near the chuck and 2. on the part very near the end.
Maybe a little plastic faced hammer could be used to adjust the DI reading near the parts end.

Assuming the piece is centered and faced off square, can you part
it off, turn it around in your 4 jaw and drill it from the other
end??
Chances are the center drill is smaller than the finished hole
and the hole doesn't care which way it was drilled, once it is
drilled through.
If that works, facing off the parted end (which is now facing the
tailstock) should finish the item unless I missed something in the
description.

You just need to dial it in so the turned section is centered & parallel to the lathe bed. Drilling from the TS will center itself; you might prefer to start the hole from the end without the center hole already drilled. Or, after dialing the piece in, check to make sure the existing center hole is actually still on the axis of rotation.
You didn't mention the hole size, so there may be some other options. The easy one is getting a set of shorter drills. Twist drills come in 3 standard lengths; jobber, screw machine & taper length. Jobber are the commonly found ones, screw machine are shorter, taper length are longer. The sleazier approach is holding a drill in a carriage mounted holder by clamping down on the flutes with a piece of brass tubing to protect the flutes. If you do that, you'll appreciate that its such a nuisance to set up you'll be inspired to get a set of screw machine length drills ;-)
If the hole is big enough, it's also possible to drill it as large as possible with whatever size drill is short enough to fit on the lathe & finish by boring to size.

Yes, centered and faced off square on TS end.? I won't try parting off a 2" diameter piece - instead will cut it off on my bandsaw.? No reason I couldn't drill from the end opposite the center drill.
So, I would be using the faced off end to "square" the piece up against the face of the chuck?

"You just need to dial it in so the turned section is centered & parallel to the lathe bed." That's the part I was wrestling with.? Would it work if I put the TS center in the center drilled hole and set my DI close to the chuck and centered the piece.? Or, would I still have to set the DI near the end of the piece to make sure it was aligned.? Still a little hazy on this.
Short drill might work.? I could keep the current set up (haven't broken it down yet, pending advice from you guys), put my steady rest at the end and drill part way in with a short drill.? That would create enough room to get my standard length drill in place.

I
I am now the proud possessor of a Flickr account.? Trying again with a photo posted on that site (let's see if it works): ?
? So, there (assuming photo is accessible) is the piece I'm working on.? If I don't go the short drill bit route suggested by one of you guys, I'll be band sawing the turned section off at about Section A-B.? The face at C has been faced off as close as I could get to the TS center and there is a center drilled hole for the TS also.
Right now the center drilled hole, the lesser diameter turning (about 1" diameter) and the turned major diameter section (2" diameter) are all concentric.
My goal is to get the sawed off portion re-mounted in my 4-jaw so it is centered and all the turned sections are concentric to the rotation of the spindle.
Got a couple of ideas already.? Any other thoughts?
Also, did this Flickr thing actually work?
|
The new account worked great....and good photo too!!
I stay with my original suggestion - part it, flip it, center it,
drill it, and face it.? You also have enough of the small area to
indicate and even have finished the large area enough that you can
indicate there too.
Just to make yourself feel better, you might want to indicate the
large end, then take an inside mike and measure the finished area
to the ways.? If it's too far for your mike, a 123 block should
bring you to a test spot.
However, dialing in the small area in your 4 jaw as you normally
would, then checking the large end should do it.? If both ends
indicate, they are on axis.

So, there (assuming photo is accessible) is the piece
I'm working on.? If I don't go the short drill bit route
suggested by one of you guys, I'll be band sawing the
turned section off at about Section A-B.? The face at C
has been faced off as close as I could get to the TS
center and there is a center drilled hole for the TS also.
Right now the center drilled hole, the lesser diameter
turning (about 1" diameter) and the turned major diameter
section (2" diameter) are all concentric.
My goal is to get the sawed off portion re-mounted in
my 4-jaw so it is centered and all the turned sections are
concentric to the rotation of the spindle.
Got a couple of ideas already.? Any other thoughts?
Also, did this Flickr thing actually work?

That works nicely.

You Flickr photo post worked perfectly for me.
I think all you need to do is place the dial indictor on the small hole you've already drilled for the tailstock
