How much does temperature and humidity affect the occurance of blowing out of blanks?
One day everything I turn goes just beautifully, and the next day every blank blows out at some stage or another.
My lathe / shop is on the balcony of my apartment (no choice at this time). Today I blew out 2 BEAUTIFUL Jeff Powell blanks and an acrylic. The burl was just fine.
Tools are sharp and I did not seem to change anything.
I am in the Baltimore area and it has been very hot and humid. Today was rainy all day.
Your guidance is appreciated. Thanks Dave
