Turning down a metal pipe

burrentech · 2018-06-19 09:30:21

Hopefully someone nearby with a lathe that can turn down a couple of pieces of pipe 15cm length from 22mm OD to 19mm OD. Help!

Ennistymon is not very nearby at all.

Sounds straightforward enough, however depending on application - rolling to reduce diameter on a thin walled pipe might be more pleasant, useful and stronger method.

Probably not available everywhere but try ringing any of the local engineering works, anywhere decent might have a lathe, or will defo know someone else nearby that can roll or turn.
