The width of the original tape is about .330". Although gaffer's tape is a very close substitute, that width is simply not available.
So..... Creative lathing ensues. Place roll of three inch gaffer's tape in the lathe and set up a new razor blade in the tool holder.... Look at that nice clean cut. It's the dark one that's barely visible. 90 rpm and the blade cut in neatly. Now I have some tape to work on Byron's /6 harness. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I hope you guys know that putting a roll of tape in a lathe, while serving a practical purpose for me, is posted partly for your entertainment.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) For me, part of the fun of learning a lathe is the simple fact that I have little idea what I'm doing. Experienced machinists would probably never do some of the things I'm doing, but I simply don't know any better. |

Please take care.....lathes do not forgive inexperience or the naive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9grSq-TWMQ...;has_verified=1 We don't want you entertaining us like the guy in the clip. (This is the least graphic film I have seen, didn't want to post anything too shocking on here. Being a qualified Lathe turner I've seen far worse things happen on lathes over the years to folk doing what you'd think were simple easy and safe tasks) |
