I'm so accustomed to accurate measurements that when I work with wood (I build sets for two local theater groups), I feel uncomfortable about the wide pencil marks and relatively course measurements,

Short! Short! Short! I hate it when I can't even get the joke right!

I hate it when I cut something three times and it is still too long!

Hi All I have never tried to make any knurled parts on my SL because I don't have a slow speed fitment, when knurling on my other lathe I only run about 300 rpm on the spindle using a clamp type tool.

Hi Dick: I tend to do it the other way, cut 3 times and then measure. Carl.
