Here is what I did:

In the end I did the whole think using a brazed carbide AR bit. I had some issues with holding the 1/2" boring bars Jim W. suggested so I thought I would stick with familiar implements.



The diameter is spot on 5.401" - a slip fit for a 5.400" face ring.



I shall try turning the ring in this contraption within the next few days. When I have decided whether to go with superglue or double-sided sticky tape :-)

Sorry, I thought the boring bar was your first choice.

Just make sure you pick something that stays stuck when it gets warm.

Did I ever mention this old 'pot' collet system?

black cup goes behind the collet body and wedges it closed when the drawbar is tightened.

The partial set I have came from a Rivett lathe.

You could fit the taper ring into your new faceplate. I think the collet body really needs a stem extending back into the spindle to keep it straight.

I believe you did.

Re-the boring bar: I was simply contemplating what I had in the box. Anyway - see part 3 :-)
