new to lathes
I just got my hands on a sherline 4400 mini-lathe. I know how metal
behaves with a file/saw/hammer- just not with machine tools. I've been playing with some brass and learned about the drill bit leaving triangular holes and other non-obvious things. I was able to turn down some aluminum castings I made, but other than just making random shapes, I'm somewhat at a loss as to where to get started. There's got to be defacto books written 1000 years ago I need to grab. What's suggested around here? |
