AndrewB Posted September 15, 2020 Report Posted September 15, 2020 So tonight I decided to turn a couple of acrylic pen barrels since I just got a shipment in today. I also tested out a new camera for recording that was COMPLETE and utter trash. So I will be sticking with my iphone from now on. Either way I think I hit a few air pockets in the acrylic. It just wanted to chip I will leave the video from the turning in here. But the quality is NOT as great as my Iphone. Tomorrow I'll be starting off on some new bowl projects since those will get in. So I'll get to try out my new EWT Mid sized rougher. Can ya see the huge difference in the video with the Iphone and this camera. DONT BUY IT. lew, p_toad and Thad 3 Quote
RustyFN Posted September 15, 2020 Report Posted September 15, 2020 I have turned quite a few acrylic pen blanks. I have found it easier to use regular tools. With carbide tools I have trouble with them taking out a big chunk when they start to get thin. Never had that problem with regular tools. Quote
