I had wood lathes before I had metal turning ones. If you are working in
you metal shop turning wood, have the vacuum nozzle near the chisel. The
chips vanish. The mixture of chips and air is explosive, be warned.

Subject: [7x12minilathe] wood
I just did a little work on some cocobolo wood for a project my wife is
working on, just had to round up and take out surface gouges in a piece
of dowel). Sure makes a mess doing wood on these lathes. I think I'll
stick with metal and plastic. :)
Of course some plastics leave high static "snow" stuck to everything in
sight, so I'm not sure that's better.
