    Drilling an accurate angled hole in a thin spindle

    Using an end mill in the drill press and slowly approaching the will allow for you to get it lined up all you will need to do is find a way of holding the piece at the desired angle and on the centre line of the turning.

    Chuck running out

    Make sure that the threads in the chuck and on the lathe are both free of any swarf and that the register is also clean as any dirt swarf on this can throw out the chuck by just enough to notice. Get in the habit of removing anything from the lathe and cleaning everyday it only takes seconds...

    Versachuck carriers

    I hope they do get some in as I was thinking of getting a set of axminster jaws for mine. If it was Robert Sorby jaws I could take a set off and use them as I have a duplicate set of jaws. Will be following to see when they get some back in stock.

So another essential job is done and brownie points earned. I did get into the workshop and turned the tyre part of all...

    you will find that some woods will split very easy compared to others and it will not matter how you process them. All you can do is prepare them and seal them to see what happens. Other than that part turn them and again hope the move rather than split
