Overview
Watch a detailed machining demonstration that walks through the complete process of fabricating a replacement golf cart axle using a metal lathe. Learn essential metal turning techniques as an experienced machinist showcases proper setup, measuring, turning to size, and creating precise shoulders and tapers needed for the axle to function properly. Follow along with the step-by-step metalworking process from raw stock to finished part, with clear explanations of critical tolerances, cutting speeds, and tool selection for working with steel on a traditional manual lathe.
