Rookie, willing to learn
Hello to all.
New to this place and was wondering where I could find references to turning speeds and wood types?

Just your encylopeadic knowledge ? Or did it stick in the mind for one of life's formative events? ;-}
Sniper, I asked 'cos the table I posted has an Oz bias and the forum has been getting some int'l recognition lately.
As for speeds, there are tables around, but I choose by feel. More knowledgeable turners will be able to articulate what you need to look for.Cheers, Ern

Hei Sniper,
Darrell Feltmate in Canada has a website with some great information:
http://www.aroundthewoods.com/index.shtml
That said, nothing beats hands on experience so find a wood turning club or failing that do a turning course at Tafe or Carbatec.
Cheers
Paul

Friends were looking at a house there.Just your encylopeadic knowledge ? Or did it stick in the mind for one of life's formative events? ;-}
As far as speed goes: The rule of thumb I use is up until it vibrates and back off 1. The faster the better.
