I decided to start my build of "Chucks Single" today by making the cylinder.
The only material I have on hand for the cylinder is a 1-1/2" bar of cast iron from Enco.
I'm trying to machine it down to 1.250 inch and having a problem. It looks grooved like an old 78 rpm record.
Is this normal?
Tried many different styles and shapes of carbide and HSS cutters. Even tried brown cutting oil.
I know this is a tough question but I have never had a problem with the finish on brass or aluminum.
Help!
