Popular Post Jim L Posted September 14, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted September 14, 2018 So you all know we've just released a new line of negative rake carbide cutters for turning resins and very hard woods. I've tested these cutters a lot... I mean... a lot. I figured it was finally time to turn a finished project. This was one of the hybrid blanks that Heath Knuckles made for me. It's now an ice cream scoop handle for my (about to be) grandson, due in November. Never too early to start spoiling them! Simple yes... but I think the beautiful blue resin and maple burl speak well on their own. Stick486, p_toad, Cal and 4 others 6 1 Quote

HandyDan Posted September 15, 2018 Report Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Very nice. For acrylics i use Turtle Wax rubbing compound and then Meguiar's Plastx polish. Can get a mirror finish with it. Edited September 15, 2018 by HandyDan p_toad, Cal and Jim L 3 Quote

RustyFN Posted September 16, 2018 Report Posted September 16, 2018 Looks great Jim. Heath makes some nice blanks. Quote
Ron Altier Posted September 16, 2018 Report Posted September 16, 2018 When you use negative rake, which way to the cuttings go? When I turn resin the normal way, they go everywhere. Into the chuck jaws and streamers into my light, etc. Cal 1 Quote

Grandpadave52 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 That is so cool and very appropriate. Beautifully done Jim. BTW, Congrats to you and the family for the soon to be addition.
