I need to machine some internal snap ring grooves into the ends of some aluminum tubing (6061). Tubing will be 1.5" - 2" in diameter, 60-80 mil wall thickness, 12"-20" long. I have an old lathe, and an old steel-fingered steadyrest that goes with it. I'm guessing steel fingers won't work well for this, so what is the best alternative for this application? Ball bearing rollers?
