Hi I need to turn a large bowl of 450mm diameter, Half of a sphere in shape and about 8mm in thickness.
Appearance is not critical, the inside will not show and most of the outside will be covered.
I was thinking of stack lamininating a blank with the inside and outside roughly to size from pine using epoxy, then turning it.
I have not turned anything this large and would like any suggestions especially on safety. The slowest my lathe will go is 500 rpm will this be too fast?
thanks,
Jeff
