how to turn nitrated-steel cylinder for repair job?
(OP)
I’m having problems to get a sufficiently smooth surface and trouble with very short toollife.Tried ceramic inserts and diamondtipped.Material to be turned are injection-cylinders used to inject dies with thermoplastics at very high pressure.Size is upto 4000×300×140mm(lenght×outer×inner).These cylinders are nitrates but the inner is worn,and the most of it is to be replaced by a bimetallic piece.

What you need is a grinder attachment for your lathe. It attaches to the toolpost and has an electric grinder wheel.
