It Just Does that Sometimes
This is part of the series on using the skew. I decided to make this installment available to everyone. I hope you find it useful and, if you don’t already, please consider becoming a supporter. One of my goals this year is to expand and tailor what I post here to fill in some of the common issues I know my readers and students are contending with.
“It Just Does that Sometimes”
It’s a common refrain when learning to turn. I know the feeling. But turning is just physics and understanding the way the tool cuts in a given position or while forming a shape isn’t complex. I’m hoping I can help you better understand the way the tool cuts in different positions so you don’t just throw caution, or knowledge, to the wind and hope “it doesn’t do that”. I’m going to go into the actual cutting of the v notch next, but in this video, I am showing a bit more of the “why”.
On another topic, I need some help. I just set the wheels in motion to get my drill bit grinding fixture produced in hard anodized black aluminum. I’m very excited to get this tool out there, I think it’s going to make a big difference in how folks use drill bits. I designed a logo, but I only have it in a .jpg and need it in an .iges file for the laser etching.
(thanks to this awesome community, I’ve gotten lots of offers to help with this, thanks!)
Here is the logo. I don’t know if it will need to be redrawn, but hopefully there’s a simple way to create the file.
And for all you fans of Georgia, here are a couple of pics submitted by Brian Chin and Mike Jury, as well as some of my own. I’m in my recovery phase after an 8 day class and sorting photos of George is just about all I can handle.
She is very happy to have classes up and running again. Andy Glenn taught a great class with Joel Paul and next week, Tim Manney will be here.
Next, I’ll show all the ways to screw up a V notch, and the way not to.
