Piranha Brother 2 said:I've made a couple of round rubber parts recently using any suitable chunk of hard rubber (eg a shock rubber from a car) mounted on a bolt/shaft in the lathe chuck and with the angle grinder mounted on the tool post. I was able to produce quite accurate tolerances and symmetry that way.
Rubber hose won't do it, Skeeta - too soft.

I had some Ceriani shock seals made that way by freezing in liquid nitrogen.
