Main Rod 6

Now that the inside and outside surfaces have been machined, I took the peice to Gordon's shop to use the horzontal mill to cut the thinned part on the rod, and the center flute. I clamped the ends to the table, and blocked the middle. There was still some vibration, so I had to clamp the bar down in several places, moving the clamp along as the machining progressed.

Here I machining the thinned part.
