Yessssss - and I bet you two have never suffered from jam ups either? One has to watch some tolholders that tip the blade up at an agle. You'd have to grind a few degrees negative to end up with zero true. |

mgj, I've suffered more jam ups than I care to remember. I totaly wiped out one blade with automatic feed. By the time I got it stoped the chuck had stopped turning. In other words I had stalled the lathe, but not before there was a teribble crunching noise and parts of the blade went flying around. I've even seen it happen to proffesionals were I used to work.

Oh - I thought that only happened to me. Well I have got over it - at least for the last 6 years!!!! |

Well the HSS blade arrived but unfortunately it is tapered on both sides and so won't work in my Glanze holder! I presumed it would be a straight blade as it wasn't described as tapered. Dunno if it's worth sending back for £5. Anybody want a 3/4" tall 6" long HSS blade? I think I'll just grind a tool from a 12mm blank tonight instead... Bah. |
