    Hi Guys, Now with a bit of work shop magic I have made my lathe an octagonal one, ( no tit pull Toby), made a ali disc to fit on my rifling register with eight holes for lock pin stop. The barrel is mounted on centres and locked from moving at the four jaw chuck end ,turning one in tail stock. I have set up two cutters at different heights in the tool post, cut using one then turn post for a lower or higher cut with the saddle wheel and just move lock pin around for the next one. Nice light cuts shaves in the flats, esy pesy, , Homebrew.357.
