Turning tools question

[bob barton]

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 !

Bob,

Thanks for offering to help.

I ended up with a grizzly lathe. I think it is a 0752. It is like the 602 but has the VFD built into it.

I have used it a fair amount by this point, have had it for a bit more than a year.

I will let you know when I get to the next project.

Jim
