good shout,

Like a tw@t I just took the person who was using the lathe before me's word on what the speed was...

it was just burning the the tools out

I checked it and then reduced it from 800 down to 150, much better now, got 1 disc done, bout half way through the 2nd.

What speed have you got the lathe running at? Id go to a fairly slow speed.

Thank god for that, you had me worried.

Indeed!

Still a lot harder than the other set I turned down though.

Dont worry m13, everyone has their bad day.

Just remember the larger the dia, the slower you need to go.

Do a search "fiesta". It's all detailed.

Apparently a good conversion but the purists (Norwegians) dont like it!

Axel,

I'm sure you already know this, but try if possible toget the Mk2 fiesta setup, they have slider bolts which are much less prone to sticking than the earlier mk1 setup with wedges like on old fiats.
