Goal: to create a round tapered rod, from a bar of 1/2" tool steel from LOWES store..
Dimensions when finished would be:
14" total length, with a taper from 1/2" down to 3/16"
I'm told this is too narrow to safely mill, traditionally..
And I'm not exactly geared up for metalwork: more woodworking, but am curious to know
how a weekend warrior type might be able to produce such a thing...?
Is it even possible without a mill/metal lathe?
thanks,
R
