Working on a manual lathe and I have a part to make. I'll post a paint drawing of what it sort of looks like, but the biggest issue is the diameter at the bottom and needing to be flat.
I have an indexable drill that works down to 10mm, but that is as small as I have been able to find. With the .282" size at the bottom, having the tool being able to profile the taper down to the flat is likely a must as well.
The flat being right at an inch in depth is the next issue.
I've made a couple test samples out of aluminum with a 1/4" 2 flute end mill that left a bad finish on the profile of the part. When I switch to the final material, 304SS, I'm sure that won't work.
Any suggestions?
