I would like to start with 1/2 inch hex shafting and turn it down to 1/2 inch round shafting. I realize that the ideal tool for the job would be a metal lathe, but I do not have access to one.
I do have access to a Tormach 770 with the 6-inch 4th axis add-on. Would it be possible to turn down the hex shafting using this setup? Perhaps by slowly turning the stock while lowering a spinning end mill? I realize that this would not be ideal, but would it work?
Thanks
