So about a year ago I bought a lathe and I am still learning to ropes. There's only so much I can learn from Google and YouTube.

What I want to do is make a recessed area and have it be flat, so I can't use a drill bit.

Like this:

How do I do this?
What bit do I use?

Thanks.

Can you grind your own tools, Or A boring tool can do that , its quite simple.. You can change the angle of the tool to a few degrees so the tip of the tool still points to the material from the inside...

Yep boring bar will do that job... You could start the process with any of those though.
