Mini lathes - possible to turn stainless?

[irving2008]

"What I learnt today" - biggish circular stuff is painful to do on a mill and doesn't look so neat after either!

(& I dare say not that 'true' either!)

To do circular stuff in a mill, mount the workpiece on the spindle and clamp the lathe tool(s) to the bed using a vice or purpose-made jig.
