Looking for 7/8th dia bright bar
Hi
I'm looking to buy a short lenght of 7/8th bright bar approx 5" or 125mm. Must be 7/8th diameter not 22mm. I have tried a few places locally but know luck, was hoping maybe a forum member could help. I am tring to make a tool rest for my old wood lathe.
Cheers Jerryj

If you need an accurate piece of 7/8" bright bar you would be better off getting a piece of Centreless ground bar,it will be concentric over its full length and straight.
If you choose a piece of BMS(bright mild steel) there is no assurance of it being exactly 7/8" over its length or of it being straight.
The other allternative would be to get someone to Turn a piece for you,this would be a last resort.
