Only need 3 Steve, thought about making them all at once, but this way seemed easier. I had the rough stock (someone was using it for a punch) in one lathe, would drill and ream the centre then part off, with the Morse taper mandrel in the other lathe I'd cut the OD and shoulder. Couldn't come up with a way to do them all at once that didn't involve a chuck which I thought would give run out.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
