Very Newbie Question
Apologies if this is really stupid:
I just received my new Jet mini lathe and Pinacle tools from Woodcraft. I have turned only once, many years ago. I honed the tools with some rouge and then used the lathe. My cuts are really really rough, and I think I'm just ripping the wood. How clean should I expect my cuts to be? Does the wood species matter in this? Is it that my tools are dull, or is my cutting technique poor, or both? Thanks, Steve |
