THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WORDS....
About Turning on a Dime.... Learned with practice (much) to NOT try to turn the blank FAST.
When I come to the end of the POINT area I slightly pull back the blank towards the point.
Then turn the wood SLOWLY while holding back. No hurry here. Get all exactly in line to come back and proceed. Works same with turning 90's. I MAINLY cut my projects using BB stock.
Stacked up to my comfort of 1/2"l. And TO ME the MAIN thing that assures me a Great Cut is using....................FD-UR #1 Blades............................ Another 2 cents....Danny :+}
