Default Re: Turning tools question

Hi I am a machinist ; please be more clear are you just going to turn wood ? I need too know , what it is your want to do ! From my experience as a machinist for 36 plus years , a solid tool post, on this type of lathe is what you should have !!!!!!! I will be more than willing to help you in this endeavor if I can, as far as info. I need to know more specifics is all ? I don't believe you can just plunge a tool in to wood, and get a perfect profile of a pulley ! But with that said, if it is wood it is worth a try. I do strongly advise not to try it with metal !
