Well I collected my beater "blanks" yesterday and it's not looking good.
The "laser" cutting looks like it was plasma cut instead and its pretty rough, if I am some how able to machine these blanks to spin, it's going to require a hell of a lot of work to balance them.

Will fit the 4 jaw chuck to the lathe tonight and have a go at setting it up in the lathe for machining. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

if its been cut by any heat method remember to grind off the HAZ before trying to machine it. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets
