Thread: Induction training for 750 Stubby users

Is that the ruse to get it past Ann, it's the club's lathe dear, just set up here so I can come up with an induction plan . . .

Pat, a 750 Stubby is very, very high on my shopping list.

Unfortunately, the renos are in the way at the moment......

The standing joke today was whether I would be brave enough to bring one home and seek forgiveness!

or death!!!!!!!!!!

Paint it blue and tell her it's a cheap Vicmarc.

The forgiveness list cant get longer than one thing at a time Jeff! And kitchen half done is taking up the whole list. Hurry up and do the kitchen.

I know nothing of Stubbies though.

Perhaps something like this Jeff.

"Achtung. Das Machine ist nicht fuer der finger-poken und mittengrabben.

Iss easy schnapper der shpringen, bloven das fusen und poppen der korken mit shpitzern shparken.

Is nicht fur geverken by das dummkopfen. Das rubbernecken sightseenen.

Keepen das cotten picken hands in das pockets.

Relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights.

Did you have an extra sugar in your tea this morning .

Pretty funny though.

Hi Tea lady’

In light of his recent posts, it would seem obvious that hasn’t got much work on at the moment.

I would suggest you find him something to keep him busy before he gets up to more mischief.

He could try making the tea for you instead of the other way around.

Cheers

Bloody hell.

You'd have thought all those Stubby owners out there would have been giving me lots of advice but alas not.

Even Calm has deserted ship. I guess I'll have to figure it all out myself.

Jeff, if you can't dazzle them with brillance...baffle them with bull****

Seriously Jeff this is the sort of thing I would do.

It assumes that all normal safety procedures have been taught regarding normal lathe usage e.g. speed, faceshields, clothing etc.

The only real difference between a Stubby and all other lathes is the bed movement and variable speed.

Go through the switch location.

Get them to use the variable speed control with no load to get a feel for how quick it goes from whoa to go, and that they need to do it SLOWLY when increasing speed and how long it takes to ramp down. Reinforce the fact that it must be IN THE SLOW SPEED WHEN THEY START.

The variations in bed locations and the maximum extent that they can be moved without coming out and falling on the floor and that all locks must be tight before starting.

Belt changes and how to do it and the explanation of the difference in speed and torque.

I prefer Eds advice, you just take too much fun out of this sometimes.
