Cheap and cheerful motor

[Bob Culver]

Hand scraping large adjustements can easily result in a tilted rod.  When this topic arose previously one contributor with a large swing lathe did by clamping half way on a wood or nylon (or steel covered with paper) mandrel in chuck, then reversing, and finishing with a scraper! The fun of lathe work is the challenge of set ups.
With scraping it is very easy to start chatter marks, hard to remove.
