Hi all,
First of all, I really enjoy the pix and topics in this forum....great stuff!!!
I just ordered a new Delta 46-460 and am going to make my own stand: http://www.cranialstorage.com/Wood/lathe_stand.html
I've been trying to find decent calipers to use but I'm not sure what size I need and which ones to buy. Most books I read say 6 inch ones but there are alot of 8 inch ones for sale out there. I was thinking about the harbor freight set: http://www.harborfreight.com/6-piece...set-94447.html
but are these a waste of money or will they serve me well?
Is it worth spending the money on Lee Valley's or Starrett calipers? Will these help me start out turning better, or should I just buy the set from HF?
And....What in the heck would I use dividers or a compass for in turning? I guess I just need some practical advice.
Any help sure would be appreciated....
Thanks,
Ed
