I was trying my first inside ornament. Since I did not know how deep to go on the first side, I took a guess. I was wrong. I will try again but I have already made changes. On the tailstock, I originally drilled a piece of plywood and locked it against the circle plate on the tailstock with a bolt. It did not hold. I found a .48 inch collar (or whatever it's called). I drilled it out to 1/2 inch and I will be able to tighten an allen screw to secure it better to the tailstock. I also drilled a 60 degree hole (because the tailstock had a 60 degree point) in plastic instead of the plywood because I thought that it would (holder) rotate better with the headstock. As I was "rounding" the second side, I noticed that the router bit was bouncing all over the place. I'm not sure if it is because of the hold that I made or that the CNC is not that tight or I started with too deep a cut.. I'm just glad I was there when it failed.
So for my next attempt. I will do a very shallow cut before I reverse the 4 pieces. Use the collar for the tailstock. When rounding the second side, not as deep a cut. If anyone is interested, I'll report back with the results.
