Lower speed and/or a shop apron help, especially for those of us
that don't like to expose our shortcomings to machinery <g>

As to the original poster, doesn't that first piece off your
machine
make you feel good?

Subject: [7x12minilathe] 1st time with the lathe
Well folks, I fired up my lathe for the first time. I started
out
by squaring the ends of on a scrap piece of brass, and then
cutting
two small grooves on one end. Then I used the center bore, and
place a small hole in the end. My son thought I was making a
shotgun shell. At least it had SOME semilence (not sure if
this is
a word) to something real. I did however discover something
that
sucks about this whole thing, metal splinters ;-)
I have just ordered a face plate, a 4 jaw chuck, and a few other
items. Once the faceplate comes I can try squaring up the
flywheel
for my Stuart D10, and the 4 jaw will allow me to start getting
the
base ready.
I'll keep you all posted.
