Finally got my lathe, after the first one went missing in the post! Yes, hard to believe I know. :lol:
Couple of quick questions if I may:
What are the signs that you are turning your wood at the correct speed? Or maybe the question would be better asked the other way around.
And, should the drive centres four contact points be sharp? The reason I ask, is that a piece of wood I was turning, stopped revolving during a small cut, and the drive centre just bored a small hole. (I have just re-read this question, and it may not make any sense )
When I have spent a bit more time on it, I will write a review of the lathe. It certainly has its good AND bad points. :shock:
BTW, I have read through the Keith Rowley book a couple of times, and unless I am blind, I cannot find the answers to my above questions in it. If they are in there, then I humbly apologise.
