I am turning a few tru-stone blanks that are hard as nails.
So far I have tried both skews and gouges on the tool rest. My preferred tool is usually a 1" Sorby oval skew, but even that won't make a dent on these blanks. Just to check, I made a Cambridge Kingwood. No problems and tools worked like a charm.
I even put a tool in the metal turning lathe and tried that, but split a blank.
So what do you use to turn hard tru-stone????? Is there a different technique I need to use for these hard blanks?
I have made the "webbed" tru-stone and my skew pealed off ribbons that clogged up me dust collector.
