Nice attachment, but I would suggest turning the smallest end diameters last. Maintain the support for as long as you can for rigidity and safety. Same principle for turning steel.
I’ve found that burnishing the wood produces a gorgeous and hard finish (after sanding) - I often use a cutoff from an oily species like olive, and rub it firmly against the rotating piece (at low speeds)
I made a shield out of a polycarbonate panel that I folded and stretched to the top of the duplicater. It does a great job of keeping shavings from hitting me and also make cleanup easier
Thanks for this! Do you have the cutter head in the center or just below center? Mine is leaving a lousy finish. It looks like it was a stabbed a bunch.
Hi. Yes the cutter head should be just below center. I would suggest you speed up the lathe speed and be sure to keep the "ship wheel" moving at all times.
@@gordlanger7064 Thanks Gord! I’m doing both of these things that I’m wondering if I am sharpening my cutter incorrectly. Do you have any advice about that?
Hi, its a Vega. All the information needed is in my article (issue #57) on this site: archive.constantcontact.com/fs030/1103251462235/archive/1103792031624.html Cheers, Gord
