#collet — Public Fediverse posts

I'm in a fun rabbit hole. I decided to use my #mill as a #lathe. I didn't have #tooling so I ground my own from a drill bit. I didn't have a tool holder so I made that too. I wanted to turn a 1 inch cylinder but don't have anything to hold something that big. So I drilled a hole and press fit a 3/8 inch rod into it and mounted in a #collet.

I'll post steps, photos, video, rationale someday. "Doing it the hard way, on purpose."
