I was told by a cnc kit maker that the metal lathe works fine on wood.. Oh, Hello JFetting, haha... It's a small world, I believe we corresponded y'day... I'm the guy that emailed you thru your website about turning wood with metal lathe.. thanks for the reply.. I'm checking all resources and looking for various opinions or suggestions. Especially anyone with a similar process. Pen makers are the only ones that I can think of and maybe I can check out one of their sites. I'm sure they have one...
I'm must confess Chris I'm ignorant about metal cutting tools, cnc terminology and cnc capabilities in general , I'm learning though.. As you mention The cutting tool would be critical part and just from looking at the angle on the 60 pt it doesn't look like it would be able to make a 90 degree parting tool type cut. That kind of information is helpful and I must do more research to find out about that.. curves, tapers, as well as the 90 degree cuts I mentioned would be needed capabilities..
Although it was taken with a low meg camera and if I've done it correctly I've attached an example of one the duck calls I make. Maybe one of you can tell me if it's cnc-able. I appreciate both of your replies. All suggestions are appreciated. thanks,
