I have a PSI midi lathe and the Deluxe Joyner Pendant Jig that I bought a couple of years ago from the original designer. I have been a flat board woodworker for many years but am still a relative novice to turning.
I found the jig very easy to use and, even with my in-expertise, I made a pretty pendant.
However, I was very nervous when I put it in off-center mode. I don't know if my small lathe is made to handle it. My lathe stand weighs over 200 pounds and I have no vibration but that big piece of metal spinning around off-center was scary.
Is it just my newness to turning that makes me nervous about using it or should the off-center jig only be used on a full-size lathe? Is there anyone else out there who is using it on a small lathe?
