Re: How to use lathe back gears
it is interesting -> many people appear to be assuming that the lathe in the video is no longer used to cut metal.
the only thing you can say for certain is that....well....at the time of the video, it did not appear to be cutting metal.
take out the grease / charcoal pan, pull the spit and make chips....

What sort of toolbit would you use to slice it?

I thought you made chips by deep-frying thinly sliced potatoes?Bill Shields wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 3:21 pm it is interesting -> many people appear to be assuming that the lathe in the video is no longer used to cut metal.
