The sound of money
Damn. my dad was cutting off a mounting block (round stock with
dovetails) and the cut-off tool wasn't set right, probably too high. I could hear it rubbing on the part. He launched the cut-off insert into never-never land, plus damaged the lower "jaw". Looks like a "T" blade is in my future, I can't afford to let him learn that way. Course, he's hard of hearing, so he probably didn't hear the death scream... |

Center height gauge? Like the Redding I have with the bubble on the
top of a "K", place the inner part of the K on the workpiece and the ledge on the other side on the top of the cutting tool? Mark Rand wrote: Make a centre height gauge before it's too late. |

Either that, or one that stands on the ways of the lathe and has been adjusted to the centre height of that lathe. Oh, and get your dad to use it :-) Mark Rand RTFM |
