Randy: OMG! I went to HF yesterday and while browsing the isles, I found the exact same thing except the handles are black. Mine cost $3.99. Interesting that this item was in the store, but I can't find it in the online catalog...
Daniel: While doing the end grain, there was no chips just dust. As was earlier mentioned, the action was more of a scraping rather than cutting. In cross grain, I was getting litte curls proportional to the feed rate.
Frank: This was definately smoke! Unfortunately, I don't have a VS lathe, so the slowest is 500 (I thought it was 620, but no, its 500).
Ray: Now that I have a diamond needle file set, I'll see if I can't sharpen the edge. And no, I don't think you're rambling. My posts, otoh... they ramble.
Everyone: Thank you all for your thoughts and your patience.
