I was braim storming
I was braim storming
Always a dangerous thing to do I know. Nonetheless, I was braim storming on a consistent was to turn a tenon on a wood lathe without spending $400.00 on a good tenon turner or wasting the cash on the cheapee pimo turner. So, here's what I came up with:
Goofy I know. Probably cost more to make that the JHLow Tennon turner too. But aside from those obvious criticisms, what do you think?
The measurements would have to be fudged a bit. I was thinking that the pin should be about 1/8" and the distance measured be somthing a hair greater than that. That is to say, if the blade were resting right against the pin, the measurment would be just a touch bigger than 1/8". Or perhaps I'm thinking about it the wrong way? Perhaps, to use a tool like this, one would have to focus on the tenon wall thickness plus 1/2 the draught hole diameter. That'd work I bet, and then you don't have to worry about the pin being smaller than the draught hole.
Anyway, comments are always appriciated.

Max, so is this a tool rest similar to a metal lathe only made to mount on a wood lathe?
If so, how easy is it to switch from that to the standard wood lathe tool rest?

compund stage
You can buy a compound stage (an x-y stage) that a couple of wood lathe manufacturers sell adn that will give you the ability to make metal lathe movements of the cutter on a wood lathe.

Re: XY
That looks backward to me. The handle for traverse movement (compound, I guess) should be opposite the headstock. Are the pictures reversed?max wrote:Here is the one I am trying to sell.

It looks as if the upper slide can be unbolted and rotated 180 deg, then bolted back on.JHowell wrote:That looks backward to me. The handle for traverse movement (compound, I guess) should be opposite the headstock. Are the pictures reversed?
