I am looking for some help with a couple tubes that I need made. they were made in the '30s with a external upset on them so they could be internally threaded and the rest of the id stayed the same. i am not having any luck with any manufactures with such a small qty.
The tube is 2.125" id and 2.5 od needing to be turned down to 2.25" 9" out of 12" length (finished) material would be prehoned st52.3 or 1026.
Is it possible to turn it down to a .0625 wall on a lathe without to much distortion?
