Todays Tutorial

Hi All,

At 2pm today we have the turning/lathe tutorial with Alejandro Bona.

Below is a timber lathe annotated with the correct names for each part:

And the same for a metal lathe:

Both essentially work the same way; you grasp a piece of material with the headstock/chuck and it spins the material on an axis, then you use tools to modify the radius of the material. It's amazing what you can do with such a simple operation.  

Following the turning/lathe demo, at 3:30pm, we have the Roland CNC demonstration with Daniel Castillio supervising.

Should be a fun day!

Regards

Russell
