Assignment 6-1 Setting Up to Turn Spindles

This is the first assignment on lathe turning for the Shopsmith Mark 4/7/520 Self Study Course. It accompanies the written assignment. Steve shows how to check the alignment, what equipment is required, and gets the machine setup to turn your first piece of stock.

Hope the next assignment shows the live center.

Great video but add closeup views from above and side showing the misalignment and adjustment.

Do you have a video that shows your lathe tool holder?

@dennisholtby2140 There are 6 more videos in this series and I use the holder in most of them. Plans for it are in upcoming Lesson 10.
