To get a nice finish using the carriage handwheel, use a round nose toolbit,
and turn the wheel slowly, using the rim, with both hands to keep it moving
smoothly.

Subject: [7x12minilathe] Re: Newb question about using the apron hand
wheel.
I want to thank everyone for the input. I went out today and practiced
using the apron wheel. It is a lot harder to get a mirror like finish then
the compound slide. But I did discover I can make good cuts by turn the
wheel itself instead of the handle. More practice is needed. A lot more
practice.
Thanks again,
Jeremy
