Poor mans tool post grinder/slitting saw thingy
Here is an old cast iron pipe (I scavenged from somewhere) that I used as the body. This stuff was very hard and when cutting and welding it smelled like creosote:?.

The cut section. Wall thickness is not very consistent.

This shows it mounted in the slitting position (without the grinder). In this position a thin cutoff disk is in line with the lathe centre. Note I stick welded with SS rods as I don't have any cast iron ones.

Here is the grinding setup. Note the "holder" is now upside down.

Showing the finish. From left the right, we have the lathe finish, 40 grit flap disk and then a 120 grit flap disk.
