Richard made a point of learning to use and set up his own cameras-hence the excellent quality imaging to best demonstrate his turning techniques. The lack of music and including a head shot is what separates the men from the boys, so to speak. So many You Tubers could learn so much from watching his demonstrations-and increase audience numbers tenfold. In my humble opinion. Greetings from Tasmania Australia, 👍😁🇦🇺🦘

I’m just now finishing up my retirement workshop and I purchased a General 260 lathe from a gentleman whose dad purchased it new, mint condition. The lathe has variable speed, forward, reverse. The question I have and can’t seem to find an answer is does one typically change belt positions with variable speed? Or keep it in one position that could get up up to say 2000rpms. I hope you don’t mind me asking a question. Thanks in advance
@RichardRaffanwoodturning

I suggest a maximum of 2000rpm for overall use and a lower range if you start turning larger bowls. My recollection is that on the General is a sprung spindle lock to the front and it's handy to have a wedge to keep that in place when you want to lock the spindle.

@RichardRaffanwoodturning

It's difficult to say what your problem is without seeing work in question. Often there are micro splits you might not have seen and these will open up as the wood seasons. You need to ensure that you cut blanks clear of the pith as well all splits, as you see in all my videos on cutting blanks. A mallet turned from deftect-free green timber is more likely to distort as it dries rather than split.

@RichardRaffanwoodturning
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately for you you'll have to come to terms with sharpening as some woods blunt even HSS or carbide turning tools in seconds - literally three or four seconds. Carbide soon loses its utlimate sharpness and whilst remaining somewhat sharp for some time it's unable to deliver a surface as clean and smooth as you'd get shear cutting with a gouge or skew chisel. To appreciate the difference, which is considerable, you need to compare a cabide scraper with a freshly sharpened scraper. Carbide is okay for hogging out the insides of bowls and even a reasonable surface off the tool with facework. The downside to carbide is on spindles where it's near impossible to get the clean surface off the tool that you'd achieve with a slicing cut using a skew chisel or gouge. I rate traditional tools made of High Speed Steel HSS as vastly superior to carbide scrapers and I suspect they're much easier to sharpen.

Unfortunately for you you'll have to come to terms with sharpening as some woods blunt even HSS or carbide turning tools in seconds - literally three or four seconds. Carbide soon loses its utlimate sharpness and whilst remaining somewhat sharp for some time it's unable to deliver a surface as clean and smooth as you'd get shear cutting with a gouge or skew chisel. To appreciate the difference, which is considerable, you need to compare a cabide scraper with a freshly sharpened scraper. Carbide is okay for hogging out the insides of bowls and even a reasonable surface off the tool with facework. The downside to carbide is on spindles where it's near impossible to get the clean surface off the tool that you'd achieve with a slicing cut using a skew chisel or gouge. I rate traditional tools made of High Speed Steel HSS as vastly superior to carbide scrapers and I suspect they're much easier to sharpen.

@@RichardRaffanwoodturning I reserve my carbide tools for use as you describe and should I get a reasonable surface on an uncomplicated spindle am inclined to finish it with a carbon steel skew. Very smooth but plenty of sharpening! Bernard.
