Hello,
-Are people making kitless pens on a jet mini lathe? That is what I am using initially but it seems a bit sloppy/lots of chatter in drilling.
-I bought some of the clear acrylic rods to experiment but I find they are melting in drilling and in turning. Have you run into this issue? What speed do you cut and drill this clear acrylic at?
-How do you hold the tap? I am using a jacobs drill chuck but is 6 sided on the inside and the tap is 4 sided so it seems like it could be slightly off. Seems like something that grasped with 4 sides would be a better fit.
Thanks,
Nick
