Goofs & Blunders You Should Avoid.

I'm not following lol

You are not alone.

Hi Guys,

My take is that @Aukai made a new centre height gauge tool for his new lathe.
The kind that you sit on top the top slide and it should line up with the cutting edge of the tool.
It lets you feel if there's any step between the tool and the gauge.

However, due to some math issues he ended up with one that was too short.

I think he just needs to drill and tap then use a bolt and jam nut and say it was meant to be an adjustable gauge!

Bingo brino, sorry for the confusion, I figured that the machinists would get it.

That stings a bit.

No worries. I know you did not mean anything by it.

not me but my neighbor saw someone stick out too much stock from a lathe. back bent and the bar bent and broke the guy's arm! it was 1/2 inch alum.

Peyton, your neighbour is lucky. Far worse is normal for whipping material out of the headstock.
