9:00 AM, Metal Lathe w/ Joe
Description
Why: The metal lathe is one of the 2 tools you could use to rebuild the entire world. Its versatility is very understated. Prior to the invention of the metal lathe we could only get close to being round. Making spacers, turning a new handle, properly drilling a hole in round stock, and cleaning up round stock.
Update: I got some new Iscar carbide inserts that are capable cutting steel and aluminum. The main difference is the rpms for the two types of metal.
Topics covered in this course:
- Safety
- How to use the aluminum chop saw for cutting stock
- Parts of the metal lathe
- How to indicate a part
- How to face a part
- How to turn a part
- How to center drill, drill, and use a boring bar
- How to knurl
- How to part a part
- Clean up procedure
You will get a handout, a greater appreciation of the metal lathe, an Iscar carbide insert, and an aluminum keepsake.

Description
This class covers working safely and efficiently with the wood lathe. This includes how to secure pieces with a screw chuck, face plate and regular chuck; using a variety of different tools and ensuring that they stay sharp; and steps required to complete various projects, focusing especially on making bowls. This class may not be long enough for us to finish making a bowl from scratch, but you will leave with a piece of wood well on its way toward becoming a bowl - and the skills necessary to finish it.
