My last two acrylic blanks both an acetate and a inlace acrylester blanks cracked from one end. up just 1/4 of an inch. enough to show that something went wrong. the one thing that stands out is that I tighting the mandrel nut too tight. In all probability its the nut been too tight yet i know its pretty loose with just a thumb tight.
The lathe is running at 1800-1900 rpm.
I'm use sharpen tools
I also allow the glue to dry 24 hours before turning the pen. I'm puzzled.
If there is anything I might be doing wrong let me know thanks
