Well I happen to find out the hard way with this. I wanted to give 2x4s a try out to see if it would be some what safe for me to turn. Not sure if I didn't use enough glue or let the glue cure long enough. Started turning it using the roughing gouge I get half of it round. By the time I started on the tail stock end of the piece I had it up to about 1100 RPM roughly notch 9 on the lowest setting of the belts on the delta. As I put pressure on the gouge into the wood the next thing I know the piece basically snapped. Not in half but length wize with the glue joint. So the only thing I could think of is A I didn't use enough glue or B not enough cure time or option D both A and B. Either way lesson learned. I was using the live centers for this. Any thoughts on this one?
