Block is dry. My wood lathe's lowest speed is 450 RPM
From the limited amount of information I have been able to glean; around 150 - 250 RPM is best.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks all

SLOW and carefully, clear chips frequently.

Don't even switch the lathe on. Turn it by hand.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.
