Surface Texture / Lay Direction on Clyndrical Surfaces
Surface Texture / Lay Direction on Clyndrical Surfaces
(OP)
Does it may any sense to request a circular lay on a cylindrical feature produced using a common lathe operation?
The lay looks perpendicular to the view plane when looking at a section. And conversely, the lay looks parallel when looking down along the axis of the feature.
Am I mistaken? Or is there be a reason to request a circular lay on a cylindrical surface (OD or ID) when the end application is a static o-ring seal? Is there even a way to create a circular lay on a cylinder with conventional machining techniques?

Other opinions are still welcome, of course, as I'm happy to avoid confirmation bias whenever possible. ;)
