October 26/10 meeting

Jim Hiltz, Jim Maclean, Paul, Chris, Frank, Naq, Miles, New member Wayne, new member Matt Wilcox, New member Brant McGowan

Leo discussed ways to re-use carbide cutters that come from a spiral cutterhead of a planer.
The pepper mill project went ahead a notch.
Paul had a piece of stock.
The stock is drilled out to the 1 1/16 bore with a forstner bit

Leo suggested we make a mandrel out of wood to run up the center of the stock. A notch is cut along the side into which is placed a piece of plastic which will act as a choke and jam the mandrel against the inside of the workpiece, thus allowing one to turn the piece properly centered.




Leo discussed the Longhorn chuck and noted that this was an old invention.
