I was following another thread in another catagory on here and think that it would do better posted in this catagory for some assistance.
I am looking for alternative ways of squaring blanks. I have been using a pen mill but that doesn't work well on the acrylics in my opinion.
Someone posted that they use a skew and square them on the lathe. I am interested in this but am not really certain of the mechanics of it. I have live centers, dead centers, chucks and such to aid in this but am unsure of the easiest way to do this efficienty and accurately.
Can someone that squares their blanks on the lathe take some pictures to help me visualize the easiest way of doing this?
