I'm a amateur machinist, stress being on amateur.
I'm trying to cut some hardened shafts on my lathe and am having one hell of a time. Right now I am doing it with a minor degree of success, going as slow as I can bear to watch, going through bits quickly, there's some minor sparking. Its taking hours to do simple stuff that would take minutes on a non-hardened piece. Anyone got any advice?
