Setting Up Carbide Tooling on a Lathe : 9 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables
2 days ago · The metal lathe is a machining apparatus used to shape metal pieces by holding and rotating it by the lathe. At the same time, a tool bit is moved forward into the work for cutting action. The lathe machine has been developed a lot for producing screw threads, drilling, cutting, tapping, turning, etc. of metal nowadays. Rather than cutting, a woodturning scraper "scrapes" using a burr. This burr must be kept sharp to be effective. The tool meets the wood just below the centerline of the blank. When using a scraper, it is held at a downward angle - tool lower than the handle. Generally, holding the tool at about a 30º angle from the tool rest is effective. If you turned the lathe on and the wood hit the tool rest you could damage your tool or risk injury. having the tool rest close to the wood also means the tools are less likely to be damaged, will work better and the wood turning will be more of a pleasure because you will not be fighting with your tools.
