Hi Randall, it’s a delight to read your comments which will be inspirational for others in similar situations. There’s much to learn about this subject that can be somewhat frustrating at times. My advice for you is to proceed at your own pace, take it easy and be patient. You have taken the first step to learn more about the fascinating procedures you will encounter and the creative elements can be highly beneficial throughout your retirement years. Please refer to some of my other videos and it is my intention to shortly present another which will contain details of a Fault Analysis flow chart algorithm, that you will find extremely helpful for producing good surface finishes and prolonging tool life.

Hello Phil, let's see if we can resolve the situation for you. There could be several reasons for what you consider to be a disaster. It is not uncommon when attempting to face and turn for the first time, that problems may occur, so don't worry about this. First of all, describe to me what happens when you begin machining, any vibrations etc. What material are you trying to machine? Is the cutting tool set at centre height? What type of tool is it ; HSS, Carbide, High carbon steel or inserts? Do you know if the tool has been ground correctly with essential clearance angles? Are you feeding by hand, or applying auto feeds? Answer these questions as best as you can, so I can suggest what to do next to rectify the problem. I am sure that any issues can be resolved. Work safely. 🍀 K.
