I use other tools for facing,Look at Mcmasters,they have a lot of really accurate tooling.There are many references to facing on the Forum.

Do you have a lathe?

I have an aircraft counterbore with a 3/16" drill bit I used starting out for drilling and facing bamboo by hand. It appears to be
basically the same thing. The pin must be for a pen making application. I have never used it for anything else in regards to pipe making. For facing a stummel a forsner bit or facing tool would probably make more sense and cost less if you have a lathe.

yes, a cheap Chinese one, that has had some upgrading, although it is fast turning into a pile of poo as i have worked it to death making parts for fishing reels.
I normally just face off like i would turning round bar but it is not that accurate.

[andrew]

Well, that's not good. If you can't face off with your turret I'm not going to hold out much hope for the tailstock. Do you have a chuck for your tailstock?

I've not used that particular one but I have used a lot of the counterbores sold by Fuller. They do okay for certain applications.

So are you trying to face bamboo or stummels or other stuff?
