has any kind person on here got access to a lathe they can do a small job on for me?
I need some long hex nuts turning down. I have bought some of these:

If there's knobody near to you who can help I could probably get that done for you at work, how urgently do you need them? (i work in a machine shop most wednesdays).
-
well, as soon as really. but beggars can't be choosers ;D If you can do it next wednesday and I can't find anything sooner then that'd be much appreciated! The nuts should arrive tomorrow, so I'm guessing there's not time to get them to you by this wednesday.
-
If its urgent and you know of any local engineers then it would probably be best trying them a its only a 5 minute job :)
-
I can get on a lathe most days mate if you need
-
If all else fails Paul! I have a Lathe.

its my daily Job, except i work on a much larger scale, tho it wouldn't be a problem for me to knock you a couple up. what pitch is the internal thread?? also what do u want it to measure across the spanner flats??
cheers Tom

Hi Tom, it'd be 19mm across the flats and m12x1.75. I have already ordered some studding connectors though which would just need cutting down and one end turning down to 16mm dia as per my crappy picture above.
-
er thread actually needs to be 1.5mm pitch, maybe I should have measured that before ordering the nuts :-[

no probs, ill make you a couple, ill pm you when their made
