I agree.............Now...............After spending several hours turning
on this piece of ornery wood. You know I think my problem was the chuck. I
started with the Supernova chuck, but turned the foot too small and had to
use the Nova Compac chuck. I didn't have a firm grip on the foot and the
blank was moving slightly when I tried to make a cut. I reversed the blank
and brought the tailstock up and it is doing much better.
