Re: Recommendations for learning the basics
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýClickspring always has good videos.? Here¡¯s an example of turning between centers. In this case on the headstock end he mounts the center in the chuck and machines the hex piece to the point.? That makes it perfectly concentric with the lathe axis. ? Also Blondihacks has interesting videos. Here at 6:58 she shows between centers turning. ? I use the technique on my South Bend all the time.? Here to turn a pulley on a custom tapered arbor.? The arbor was made first and a trial fit was done with the original cast pulley. ? ? John ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Barton via groups.io

I'm trying to wrap my brain around the need for the lathe dog, doesn't the chuck do a good enough job holding the stock? The next question that comes to mind is the tooling, should I buy new tooling. It came with a lot but I don't know the condition any of it is in. I might take a picture of just the tooling and get some help of what I have and the use of each type of tool. |
