Hi Folks,
1. I am turning a fair amount of baluster chair legs and am to the point where the skew doesn't catch (too often), but i do get a quite a bit of vibration during the roughing stage which makes it hard to plane well with the skew.
I do have a steady rest, but would like to turn without it. I am turning on a nova dvr which is pretty solid, and use a chuck, but also have a drive center with the big cross and also a center with the point and circular teeth in it. Does anyone have ideas of what could be causing the initial vibration?
2. I have lots of cherry burls from my woods and if anyone could point me to how to cut and dry them it would be helpful.
3. I have a live center with a point in the tail stock. Is there a way to put in a small cup instead of the point so that i could re turn spindles that dont have a center point?
thanks
Stevo
