Staring with some 1.5mm brass rod I cross drilled it and turned down the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7285\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting-1024x591.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting-300x173.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting-768x443.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting-500x289.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Spigot-before-cutting.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The machined spigot prior to parting off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parting off such a thin piece on the lathe was bound to be a disaster so I opted to cut it off with a piercing saw while it was still held in the collet and\u2026 you guessed it, that too pinged off into the swarf and was lost for ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having set everything up it was a few minutes job to prepare some more.
