💡 How do you keep lathe speed and tool support aligned for safer rough turning?
Keeping your tool rest aligned is pretty handy when you want steady cuts without the drama.
- Tweak drive RPM rates according to the blank size so the wood spins clean
- Set the tool rest tight close enough for chips to fly off but far enough back to stop kickback
- Keep grinding stones fresh for that sharp edge that rides smooth through stubborn grain
