I need some help in a few areas, here we go. By the way I am turning on a Jet Mini with a Barracuda 2 Chuck(for now!! I think I want to move up to a big boy lathe, just need to figure out how to sneak it in the garage without the wife seeing[B)]!!
1. What speed do you turn?
2. I predrilled the hole for the screw then tightned it to the blank, it vibrated off when I turned the lathe on. I was suppose to insert into the chuck and tighten it down right? I found that by using a face plate, spur center (hammered in) and a couple of screws it worked better?
3. Didnt ge the angle correct on the Bowl Chisel. Could not get it to take any material off. Specifics on using this chisel?
I was successful in getting an Olive Blank rough cut on the outside. Just need to work on the base or bottom.
That's it for now.
