Foam Lathe & Workbench

The wire part swivels so one can cut angles. Where's a video camera when ya need one? Works great, but for some reason doing angles makes concaved cuts. Might have to ask It's probably that when you angle the wire, it isn't rotating about a tangent to the work. Not sure if that's very clear.. If you imagine a line from the centre of the work, through the wire to the axle that the wire is pivoting on. The axle should be at a right angle both to that line and to the shaft that the work is turning on. If the wire is straight/taut , you'll then get a straight line cut.
