I just last night set up my new G0766 and have never used a lathe before.
This morning I put a piece of wood on and started.
All in all in went well, but I'm hoping experienced people can take a look at what I've done and point out my mistakes.
Seems I'm burning the wood and leaving a very rough finish regardless of which tool I'm using.
Also had a hard time securing the piece to the faceplate -- tried very short screws, then incrementally longer until 1.5"
After trying multiple tools to gouge a bowl and being unsuccessful (burning wood, not really cutting and even breaking a tool) I gave up and decided to ask for help.
So, help please.
Thank you!
