cattywampus. The definition of cattywampus, often spelled catawampus, is not lined up or not arranged correctly, or diagonally. An example of something cattywampus are the positions of the items on the top of a coffee table after a two year old has been playing with them and moving them around.
Thank you, I was wondering about that, but the exorbitant amount of time it took me to dial this in to .0005-.001, I did not want to start over. This is the first time out of the box for this chuck, and me setting it up.
That's the technique I was using, but got into some chatter, the tool post lever started moving, tightened it, and changed the angle of the blade. It all went cattywampus from there
What the size is that? I assumed it was like 5" dia but I don't know what size your chuck is. That's a pretty big chunk to part off if it is 5". Be sure to catch the thing! When there's a through hole on the part I like to stick a rod in the tailstock chuck to catch the part, frees up a hand.
I need the 5" throat, and considered it, but didn't want to loose too much of the bend. I have been thinking about clamping it flat as the bend progresses. I have not tried this yet, so I don't know whats going to happen. Is 1/4" the radius I should use for 1/2" bar? I don't even know if I'm going to be dragging my table all over the garage bending this....
