Easier Ways to Turn Multiples
|
Are there ways of using patterns or techniques for turning multiples, like chessmen, that eliminate repeatedly stopping the lathe to take measurements?
John Brock: There is no need to stop the lathe to check a diameter when using inside or outside calipers designed for turners, provided you have a light touch and observe the other obvious safety rules, like not wearing long-sleeved shirts or loose clothing when turning.
Carol Reed: Check into
lathe duplicators.
