Very good video. Answered some things not in other videos. Will watch it again so I'll have this grind and the standard grind that some call the bottom feeder.
Nice video explaining everything. But I hate to see all if the wasted center. Please get a Oneway coring system. Then check out the KroPro cartridge from Mike Hunter. It is a totally game changer.
Update to previous comment! I meant a negative rake on the square cutter! Will hurricane accept other manufactured cutters such as a negative rake on the square cutter?
Usimg air hose while sanding aerosolises the sanding dust , even with the dust extractor, a lot of the dust can be inhaled , especially when not wearing a respirator A nice little bowl
HI Greg, on this bowl you are absolutely correct. I Was just trying to show a feature of the Robust live center. There are times that may be useful. It is certainly not the only way to do it. Thanks for your comment
very poor sanding technique. !. never sand at turning speed. excessive speed destroys sanding paper life, and prevents its effectiveness. 2. turning with carbide tools is scraping. it can be made more effective by tilting the cutter at a 45 degree angle making it bore of a shear scrape and minimizing tear out.
Hi, thanks for watching the video. In this video I wasn't trying to show sanding techniques, i have other videos for that but I agree, this video didn't really show how to sand very well. As for sanding speed, it is not about lathe speed but linear speed at the point you are sanding. In this case, the points that i was sanding were at about 2" -4" diameter and you can see in the video that the actual sanding speed was quite slow. No problem at all with sanding too fast in this video. Also, when sanding at high speed you always need to check for heat, which can cause micro cracks on the wood, As for carbide cutters being scrapers, you are absolutely correct, they are for the most part, scrapers. This video is for beginners, and we start out teaching beginners how to use a carbide tools flat on the rest. I can show shear scraping with carbide cutters in another video. Thanks for watching !
@@gregeastman6662 Yep you are right, like i said, this was not a sanding video nor was it intended to be a finished bowl. I was quickly showing the bowl sanding tool, then moved on to the main part of the video which was to show how to make the foot. Thanks for your input!
Nicely shaped egg cup. I've see a lot of egg cups done but 'nobody' uses them in USA. I think they are a holdover from Victorian era British traditions. But seriously, I have the Axminster sk100 with O'donnell jaws. My only suggestions are the depth of the dovetail is quite short on those jaws. Also on my version the drill chuck style key is not as nice as the new version with a hex key on the body of the chuck instead of the back. These are of course just my personal preferences and I post them so others can get an honest opinion, which may or may not help in their decision to buy.
Thanks JPN, you made some excellent points. A nice addition to the O'Donnell jaws would have a version with a deeper dovetail with a wider face. The drill chuck style key in the Clubman and Essential chuck is a way to save cost as compared to the internal bevel gears in the Evolution Chucks. Thanks for your input !
I swear I’ve seen people say to always go “downhill”. Is going small to large one of things like router direction where you get better finish climb-milling, but it can cause problems if you take too much off?
When I learned to sharpen a card scraper a lot fell into place about sharpening these turning tools. I also recommend Tomislav Tomasic (sp?) on RU-vid as a great teacher for use and sharpening turning scrapers.
I'm just getting started using a lathe. While I have most everything purchased, I haven't started turning yet. That jig looks very handy to me. I'd be looking to buy one when they come available. Great video.
Steve ,I found using a paper towel less likely to catch and if it did will tear unlike a cloth. Also I use alcoho with the paper towell to clean off any sanding residue.. The Can Vac if fantastic!. Noticed you have an adjustable "dust catcher" for it. I'll check your site for it. Thanks Fred
The principles you showed are great, but the chuck you chose was way too large for that bowl. By using a chuck that was too big, you had to remove a lot of the bowl, sacrificing bowl height.
Hi PMM0107, You make an excellent point, when I was thinking about what chuck/jaws to use for the video. A few points I thought about... this series of videos is mainly for beginners,2 1/2" jaws would be what I would use normally, but if I turn this bowl around and use carbide tools, it is going to put a lot of force on the bowl when hollowing and I thought the large jaws would provide more gripping power ... less likely for the tenon to break. As you noticed, I have to remove about 3/4' of height to accommodate the larger jaws, that was a waste. 2 1/2" jaws would be what I would use normally, Thanks for your input.
I never tried to make a dovetail with a detail turning tool. I will have to try that. The dovetail guide would be a nice extra tool to have in your collection.
