Trying to make an ultimate sanding drum!

[T0rnado69]

Hey Guys, I am back again. After trying my luck with knurling on to my ali bar I realised that knurls don't work well for something that is 400mm long and spinning.

u need to face the end off, then centre drill it. then put it between the chuck and a live centre in the tailstock.

thats how i kurl long stuff.

That's exactly how I did it. Knurling is not the problem here it actually the knurls that are formed are not sharp enough to shave the bamboo off at low speed thats all
