Even with no abbreviations, acronyms or insider jargon the terms used in
eccentric turning can be confusing, at least for me. I think of
eccentric turning as limited to either "multi axis between centers" or
"single or multi axis on a single center not concentric with the spindle
axis". To me, inside-out, pumping, oval chucks, rose engines,
ornamental turning and voodoo are all separate entities distinct from
eccentric turning. This may not be accurate nor a good way to consider
eccentric turning.

I hope Fred, Ken, Charlie and others will post an outline and/or suggest
terms that we can all use to describe turning that's not on a single
axis that's coaxial. Unless, of course, I'm the only one who gets
confused and fits another definition of eccentric.
