I'm liking what I'm seeing. This is the blank cut in half and placed back to back. I'll true up the two surfaces to be bonded, and adhere them tonight.

I hope so Shaun. I'm already thinking about what this stuff is going to do to my HSS tools. Trimmy warned me, he tried turning G10 and said it killed his tools. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I suppose.

You have 2 options really, HSS and carbide. In 24hrs, we'll find out if I need a set of the carbide... Originally Posted by RezDog

I've tried finding it in that size, with no success. Are you sure your not reading the 2x2 layering system? Originally Posted by pixelfixed

While I don't 'turn' I'm very interested in seeing how this goes!
Should be interesting. And I'm sure I'll learn a lot!HARRYWALLY likes this.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

From what I've seen of my blanks in just flattening the 2 sides on my sander, has me excited. I'm also learning lots and will continue to learn good and bad when I put this blank on the lathe. Cross your fingers... Originally Posted by cudarunner
