Running on 230 or 115?

At lower mechanical load conditions, 230 may make it hotter.

Definitely a guess!!!!

230, a good guess.

Just for curiosity, try duplicating the load/conditions at 115 to see if overheating occurs later.

I do not know what the 'inverter' is, but guess it has to do with input power supply stuff.

Tried different approach to turning bowl

Post by fredsheldon »

I tried a different approach to start turning the interior of the bowl and have found there is less vibration due to the fact the face plate had a good grip on the work and prevents vibrations.

[ATTACH]22515[/ATTACH]
I started turning the interior of the bowl before swapping ends like I normally do. Having the faceplate right next to where I'm cutting provides more stability and less vibration. I really like my Carbide square cutter, I can turn three complete bowls with just one cutter, which only cost $5.00 on E-bay. And no more sharpening to slow me down. Check out the large shavings, as good as my gouge does. I even have a diamond honing card that I can use to sharpen the carbide cutters if I wanted to.

[ATTACH]22517[/ATTACH]
Now I can remove the faceplate and secure the work with the live center after swapping ends like before, the only difference is I have already removed a good portion of the interior.

Earlier in your thread you asked how to sign and date the bowls. Woodcraft sells electric irons that you can put your name on then burn into the wood, the one's that dup your sig are a little expensive but are a nice touch.

Tex, thanks for that heads up.

Now if I can find an electric version of this that would work.

My bride presented me with a personalized "Electric" branding iron for Christmas several years ago. I love it when someone buys a bowl or a cane I have made at a charity auction and is thrilled to discover it is "Branded."
