So this has happened more than a few times to me - I did not take any pictures, but I should have... My after I'm griding down my blanks and I get it close to the right size the end of the blank cracks off...
I kept making sure my tools were sharp but it happened to me 3 different times yesterday...
Is this something others have experienced? I do have the "cheap" tool set from harbor freight, and I have been using nothing buy my spindle roughing gouge to shape pens... I just ordered a HSS SRG from Sorby, so I dont know if that will matter... Maybe not enough glue on the tube?
I dont really know, just looking for help wasting blanks.
Thanks!!
