By hollow vessels, do you mean small vessels like vases? It is entirely feasible to turn hollow columns on the Legacy Mill. Don On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 5:17 PM, CURTIS GEORGE wrote: > Hello > can you clarify your statement "Hollow Vessels"? Do you mean like > bowls,cups and or Mugs? > > No mac

tim, i don't like extending the headstock on the inboard side as well...it increases the chance of your work turning out of round...but in this instance it is going to be an improvement...since i widened my z axis platform, the router could not reach the spindle, which caused me to factor in wa

in our shop we use a typical four spur drive center(#2 morse taper) when turning on our lathe...when taking a piece from the lathe(for example, a leg) to do some decorative cuts, we also remove the spur drive(or use a second spur drive, same as the one in the lathe) to bring it over to the shap
