March 19/13 Paul, Rick, Brian, Miles
Leo went through the process of using the thickness planer to do exact replications. He demonstrated the use of a wedge, marked with a pencil line so that one can register the same planer adjustment for future cuts of the exact same thickness.
Paul had a glued up square and started the turning.
It was obvious when this was done that unless the blank is carefully glued up and square, the resulting vase profile will be very hard to get uniform.
Leo showed how to use the 4-jaw chuck to get exact centering of the vase mounting.
Use the tool rest, set a corner of it close to one edge of the squared block, rotate the block and note the gap at each corner.
Tape the piece on one end to readjust the center. Until each corner touches the tool rest.
