I'm going to turn a knob out of aluminum this morning in my schools shop, my car isn't here and I don't know the Dia. of the shaft. Help Please?

The knob looks pretty nice. Good Job!
I would chuck it up and polish out the lathe marks. I would use emery cloth with some oil. Set the lathe for a fairly high speed. I would also give it a clear coat when finished. You will find that Aluminum will turn your hand black with use. |
