Thread: Making a Sharps Barrel in my lathe.

Hi, hopefully this is the precision I can do, b/block mounted on top slide after marking out centre for barrel hole and then drill with small and larger drills. Change to milling cutters to plunge cut hole larger and change to boring bar for a hole size of 1.070",and then will have to thread it on the saddle as well. The threading tool held in four jaw chuck and adjustment out using two of the jaws ever so slightly. Will have to remove the tail stock so I can test the barrel for fit, by driving saddle to back of the lathe while still in threading mode. So this is what you do if it won`t fit on your faceplate ., Homebrew.357. P S, All so have threaded the Sharps barrel, 1.5metric.
