Neither will that.


Sure it will. You just have to make sure you lift your turning tools
at the correct times. g


OK, wise guy, back atcha -- tell me how you're going to mount that between
centers to get the 3" radius the OP wanted. g


Wait a minute, I've re-thunk my method.

If he mounts it off-center and moves his tool in and out (his cutting
tool, for all you perverts) with the correct timing, he could get the
3" radius.


Not possible. Remember, he's starting out with a 3"x3" square timber. To get a
3" radius quarter-round out of that on a lathe, you'd have to mount the lathe
centers right at one of the corners.
