Hello EveryoneToday I show you how to make a lathe machine. I grabbed the piece that will make up the bottom shelf and use a jigsaw to cut out the four corners so that it could fit into place. Next I inserted the center divider that will divide the two cabinet of the workbench and glued it into place.

Special care must be taken to ensure that the lathe tool is not in contact with the wheel for more than 10. I first did a dry run to make sure it was good fit then used glue and screws to attach it. Grinding the lathe tool against the grinder can be divided into two main parts.

Make sure the grinder comes with a dressing tool or buy one if not. Dressing is the act of removing a thin layer off the grinding wheel to expose fresh grit. Typical Carbide insert about 12 x 12 from Rockler.

This is usually done with a diamond surface of some sort and results in you picking sand out of your teeth for a week. Temporarily install the follower and align it with the forward edge of the cutter. The lathe tool needs to be pushed gently against the grinding wheel.
