Machining the jaws for the large tube mandrel on the lathe and milling machine. For new viewers, this is a fixture to hold six to eight inch diameter thick-walled tube for turning operations on my Colchester 1800 lathe, giving me access to the full outside, both ends and parts of the interior of the tube of the full range of lathe tooling. I do the first test cuts, and a there is a MAJOR upgrade, inspired by a comment from Chris Maj.
This is the final part of the build. The next time Spider-Mandrel appears in one of my videos it will be in a supporting role as a part of my tool armoury. I've been amazed by the response to the two previous videos about this fixture. I hope this video clarifies the purpose and design decisions that led to its creation in a small, messy machine shop in the East Riding of Yorkshire on the island of Great Britain. You've probably never heard of either, and anyway, I'm from Lincolnshire.
I'm a cybersecurity architect and data network engineer, not a microwave radio engineer and definitely not a Proper Machinist. I learned machining from RU-vid, so go figure!

Chris Maj has a totally brilliant RU-vid channel which is definitely worth a sub. / @chrismaj
