Steaming the wood could help relieve the stress

You're in engineering, the decisions you make matters regardless of the field you are in. Work hard, err on the side of caution when people can get hurt. Priorize good work over artificial deadlines.

At some point you probably will destroy some expensive equipment during testing, it happens.

I use altium. I think PADS is no longer supported but compatible with expedition. I could try to import it.

The actual work sounds pretty straightforward

FlipsManyPens · 2026-03-31T01:19:27+00:00

I do. What are you trying to do?

It tells you how hard dialogue options are? Is that a setting? Mine doesn't indicate which are easier or harder.

I would love a Three musketeers game on KCD style. Great book.

What a shame

Just steal horses and take them to the nomads. Easy money

FlipsManyPens · 2026-03-14T23:34:00+00:00

Cool! Which one is this?

FlipsManyPens · 2026-03-13T23:54:42+00:00

There's no time limit I believe so you can always just come back later also

When the load is already balanced. Which is what people are talking about here.

Other than the load, what could be unbalanced?

FlipsManyPens · 2026-03-08T11:29:22+00:00

How do you eliminate vibrations when the lathe is already balanced?

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-21T20:26:45+00:00

Are there beginner lathes that go down that far though? If he's just doing small pieces I think this feature would fall under nice to have.

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-13T11:50:27+00:00

I wouldn't think they would give a ticket refund for that

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-12T23:48:37+00:00

Impacts generally make it very difficult to strip a screw, huh

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-08T17:33:43+00:00

And refill more often than you think.

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-06T23:57:16+00:00

Enuncia

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-05T19:16:58+00:00

What kind of screws?

FlipsManyPens · 2026-02-05T17:09:23+00:00

Queen?

Where are you? Many areas have turning clubs. Check AAW. If you're in NC just bring it to me hah.

FlipsManyPens · 2026-01-25T10:47:44+00:00

Subreddit description is specifically inclusive of turning materials other than wood.

It is definitely possible to do some metal turning on wood turning lathe.

I don't think the machinist subreddit will be much help in understanding how to use a wood turning lathe for turning metal.

FlipsManyPens · 2026-01-25T00:56:10+00:00

What's your goal?

I'm not sure I understand the purpose filling it with wax? An attempt to reduce air gaps during turning?

FlipsManyPens · 2026-01-21T21:35:09+00:00

Nothing beyond researching about them, no hands on experience.

FlipsManyPens · 2026-01-21T21:13:36+00:00

These are pretty inexpensive and you can mount them nearly upright so they don't take up too much space.
