Hi,
I've a model makers lathe, Myford ML7 and want to add a grinding wheel. I have some round stock which I want to cut a metric fixed nut and have thought for sometime about the use of a grinding wheel on a slide and then index the lathe chuck. Am I on the right lines? Have anyone else done this? I can not use hex stock because of the design. The amount I'd have to grind off is very small as the stock diameter is about 5/16", non-ferrous.
