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.

You might try turning the tool upside down and running the spindle
in reverse, it throws the chips down instead of showering you with
them. That is if your turning brass..
