Does anyone have a metal lathe?

[FishCake]

Long story short
I'm pulling my hair out trying to find a part that i desperately need
Short story long
I'm in the process of making an multi stage magnetic launcher (due to legal reason i cant say Gauss cannon) and i find myself without a payload

I'm willing to contract someones time and effort in helping me in my problem
before you ask yes I've tried EVERYWHERE with no luck

schematics will follow confirmation of job

Are you still at school? If so, explain your creation to your materials tech teacher, making sure to explain the fact that its a personal experiment, and ask if you can use the lathe to make something.

Otherwise, if you have graduated/left already, take a day and get a visitor tag from the office at your school, and ask to see your friendly materials tech teacher.

If you have a friend that works for a powdercoater or fence making company, ask if they can hook you up with something. Or if you can't find any of this, pretend to be a potential customer to a metalworking company, and explain that you'd just like a sample. Most companies are quite happy to hand out samples left right and center.

I do the second every now and then, Lynch and I are best buddies, and he's a tinkerer like me. Mat tech teachers are awesome.

My local high school's tech department is somewhat lacking when it comes to metal lathes, we had 4 wood lathes and 12 welders but the only lathe is crc and uses hex to do things
I've left and im sure my old tech teacher wont go out of his way to do that for me, he was a real turd

Perhaps an add in the local community paper would help? Maybe someone has one lying in their shed.

Unfortunately we dont have a community paper in m area, we have the messenger but the local council stops small stuff like that for some stupid reason
