Great video! Thank you especially for the comment about how commonly thin pieces break on the lathe. I'm just beginning and find that very helpful to manage my expectations.
which are the typical drop spindel dimensions? lenght and diameter of the stick? thickness and diameter of the disc? I think I've got 12 inches long, 3.75 (i don't know the unit) diameter. About 50 grams total weight. About 3/4 disc thickness, no diameter data. Please confirm.
