I don't know how I missed this...but thank you Marv.

That looks way too pretty to be used as a whacking utensil.

Since the grade 8 bolt can be cut with a hacksaw, why use an angle grinder on the lathe? Wouldn't a HSS cutter do a more precise and faster job? Besides, grinding dust on lathe ways is not good.

Do you know of any HSS cutter tools I can use with a woodworking lathe? The cutting with the disk cut at the same rate off the lathe as it did with it, so why is the dust any different?

Thanks

Sorry, my mistake- I didn’t notice you had chucked up the bolt in a wood turning lathe.

I do suggest you cover your ways with a cloth when grinding.

No problem...I'm just using what I have. When you said "Ways", did spellcheck magically change it from face?

[rgsparber]

Cover the ways with a cloth. Your tailstock rides on the lathe’s ways. That grinding grit is bad.

Never heard of the term 'lathe ways'. I learned something today...thanks.
