I fired-up the lathe yesterday evening, but things didnt work out - TopicsExpress



          

I fired-up the lathe yesterday evening, but things didnt work out the way I would have liked. The spool-looking bowl flew off the chuck when I started hollowing the bowl. Luckily, it sailed past me. Theres a mortise on the other side - thats where it let go. I turned the square bowl Sunday, but the top was too thick. I thinned the top yesterday but I had lots of tear-out (I had tear-out on the spool bowl too). Is this a sign that I need to change (or rotate) my carbide cutters?
