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) |

It’s NOT just fingers,
The accidents can be any of the following: 1, Materials coming loose and flying out. This includes the parts your turning, clamps, packing pieces, tools, drills, steadies, nuts and bolts on faceplates, broken/snapping tools and the most common…a left in chuck key. I have even seen a 50lb chuck and a 70lb face plate fly off a lathe when it wasn’t fitted correctly or a fixing failed. 2, Getting caught up. These range from shirt or coverall sleeves, to coat or shirt tails (getting caught in a leadscrew) ties, jewellery and even long hair. 3, Falling objects Tools or anything left on the headstock vibrating across the machine and falling in. Shelving near a lathe is also dangerous as things can fall off onto the machine. 4. Tom Foolery and complacency (the worst of all) I have seen students and workmates sabotage a colleagues lathe “for amusement” and experienced guys get hurt from being complacent. At best you’ll lose a finger. I’ve seen people lose an eye and break bones in a very messy way. “Series 9” Please take care. Boasting about not having a clue and doing stuff you shouldn’t on a lathe without training and awareness, is not conducive to a happy ending and makes me worry for you. |
