Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
I've turned brass fitting many times on the LMS 5100.? ?Never went to specific bit geometries - just used the indexable carbides from low-priced sets or other chinese turning tools.

Re: Large work holding
I ALWAYS use cadmium-bearing alloys because of their lower melting
temperature. I keep a window open in my basement shop and a fan blowing
from one side so any fumes get diluted and blown away from

Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
It might not be clear to everybody what "stoning a tiny flat" really means.? This is called "dubbing" a drill and here is a pretty good photo I found online.
It isn't really a less sharp edge (you

Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
The main things are no top rake & stoning a tiny flat (instead of a sharp edge) on drill bits.? Those sharpening differences keep the tool from pulling itself into the work.

Re: Large work holding
The 95/5 alloy is the nicest Pb free plumbing solder! I still miss the Cd containing brazing alloys for their ease of use; that's with my head - the rest of the innards are happier not being exposed

Re: Large work holding
I try to avoid the phrase "silver solder" nowadays because people use it to
mean two entirety different things: silver brazing alloys and soft solder
that's 5% silver and 95% tin. The latter is just

Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
I turn brass all of the time on my mini lathe.
Use high-speed steel tool bits.
High-speed steel can be sharpened better than carbide tools.
This is a mini lathe, so cutting speed is not too

Re: Turning Brass on 7x16?
C360 turns nice with flat on top HSS on the 7x in my experience. Really sharp with a tiny nose radius worked great for me. I turned almost 50 feet of 3/8" into little 1/2" long orifices and never

Re: Brazing (was: Re: Large work holding)
Mike,
Yes, a welder can provide the juice. I have a carbon arc torch (cheap one) that I've used quite a bit with my AC arc welder. Gives you a lot more heat than gas torches.

Re: Large work holding
Don’t forget silver soldering. A number of model boilers are sealed using easy flow flux with silver solder. You can’t mix it with soft solder though! Any old soft solder residue has to be

Turning Brass on 7x16?
I made a 5in brass cannon from 1.25" C360 brass on a big Southbend lathe at my local Markerspace and plan to try it again on my LMS 7x16. What tooling and speeds are recommended?

Re: Large work holding
For a lot of small projects a Turbo Torch using MAPP gas works fine. The conversion requires replacing the metering orifice with the MAPP specific one.

Re: Large work holding
I've heard brazing referred to as hard soldering, mostly in the AC&R field when using a silver alloy filler rod.

There’s been a couple of plans in Popular Mechanics over the decades for making one of those carbon arc welders. They can be used for brazing.

Re: Large work holding
I can "solder" in my sleep but have had problems with brazing. My first
limitation is I only have a Turbo torch not oxy acetylene.

Re: Large work holding
And honestly the only difference between ‘brazing’ and ’soldering’…is the temperature.
Both are the same process: joining metal by melting a metal of a lower melting point to ‘wet’ the
