I am turning kit-less pens from acrylic on a 7" X 14" metal lathe and have what is becoming a serious problem. The turned blank is out of round or, more correctly off center. It seems that when i start, the cutting tool puts pressure on the blank's end causing the blank to bend until the tool gets to the spot where the body is thick enough to resist bending.
So, what can I do to fix this PITA? Any and all help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Larry
