The lathe runs smoothly, detailed testing on the way. ALL right. Very good product Works fine. It looks good, the materials are good, it needs to be worked on. I swithced out the cord with a U.
But such is life.. When all is said and done perfect little tool for finish work. Next up I may try one of their fancier ones.. Seller did a good job packaging and shipping item in the expected time projection. The Lathe kit is a fun tool. Small soft wood pieces can be spun into cylinder like shapes for art, jewelry beads, or simple fun objects.
The frame has a drill chuck so you could drill your center holes or mount the bit that secures the work piece of wood.
The tail stock has a bearing point so it easily spins as the chuck spins your work piece. With the lathe still off, rotate the bowl by hand to ensure you are forming the bead completely. When re-engaging the beader after evaluation, be careful to present the points in their original location. With its flat top bevel pointing down, this beader essentially cuts like a negative-rake scraper and leaves a smooth surface that requires minimal sanding.
To touch up your bead after tooling, use a small, folded piece of abrasive and sand lightly from the groove toward the top of the bead with the lathe speed at about rpm. By sanding the bead within the grooves and working your way carefully toward the top, you will avoid flattening the round of the bead you have created.
Woodturners are known for making their own tools—or adapting an existing one—for the job at hand. This shopmade beading tool is no exception.
It works great on bowls and spindles alike. Comments On Nov 27, Makes beading fast and easy. I have trouble cutting a small bead, but this little 3mm tool makes a perfect bead every time. Comments On Feb 29, It's a nice little tool for small beads when you really don't feel like turning them. I find it especially helpful for doing a small ornamental bead on finials and sometimes for turned boxes at the rim for the lid.
It's pretty well made and can handle a fair bit of aggressive use. Customer rating on this product:. Flush-Trim Bit.
