As Blister says above, NOT for cross grain work. That's why we now emphasize that it is a SPINDLE roughing gouge.

Yes, you have got it right, there are 4 variables. Unless you know what you want the end result to look like, stick to the angle already ground on the gouge. Some set ups eg Sorby, Tormek etc. have a fixed distance between the jig & the wheel/belt. Perhaps this Tormek guide will help.

Cooking fat!

You seem to have the bits sussed. Top photo, 4 prong drive centre then a mandrel for a buffing or grinding wheel. The 3 jaw chuck, presumably self centering, is really for metal but can be used to hold wood with tailstock support. The brush is probably too hard for polishing so possibly to...

& yet more fakes.

Not a lathe I am familiar with but good luck with getting a reply from a 2011 thread.

Double (left) click on the PDF Andy posted further up the thread & it should download.

More fakes

I have twinwall for a carport (approx 10m x 3m) & as an infill between two buildings. Both have a very shallow slope & suffer from ingress of algae & muck. My shed/workshop, a concrete sectional garage also has a twinwall roof at a steeper angle, 25° IIRC, & that doesn't suffer with the same...

Design Ideas

+1 for HamsterJam's points above. Another wood turner, who was also an engineer, told me that as long as the centre cone that you cut with a gouge is larger than the diameter of the drill it will always self centre

The original design was intended to be used in a brace, not a battery or power drill, so would generate very little heat.

As like Porker above, perhaps look into buying a refurbished PC. EG, a Dell Optiplex which come in 3 form factors, Midi tower, Small Form Factor (290x290x90mm) & Micro. Then it's finding the best CPU, RAM, storage & ports for your money. These are normally ex office machines which have been...
