Re: Unwanted taper when turning
|
Judging from what you have said, my question is ¡®are you using a lathe tool designed for steel and having top rake¡¯? If so, turning tools for brass should be 0 deg top and side rake ie a flat top. Otherwise they dig in and cause all sorts of problems. Best wishes and stay safe. ?????? Ellis ?

Just getting started with a new to me HF 7X10 (extended to 16). Trying to practice on brass and the bit ¡°digs¡± in as i move the saddle to the left. This results in an inward taper. I¡¯ve tried to adjust the cross slide to remove any play. What should i check?
Thank you for any assistance!
