Been playing with multi-axis turning - just "between centers" so far. Figured I should do some "stretching" before actually trying to use my developing multi-axis mindset and techniques on a Real Project. Along the way I've managed to "pull" a mental muscle or two but nothing serious - so far. This is not something you just mount between centers and know pretty much where you're going - and have a good idea of how to get there.
But it sure is fun! (an interesting)

This multi-axis turning thing is really interesting - and very different from single axis turning. And when you're playing with intersecting arcs it's like making the jump from checkers to chess - you need to look a few moves ahead and check things often.
So here's the next installment from this part of my turning journey.
Great tutorial, Charlie. Many thanks. Sorry for your pulled cerebral hamstrings, but very much appreciated and well worth your discomfort in figuring it out and sharing with us.
Not very cerebral here. I only got a groin pull due to my multi-axis stances while experimenting with your ideas. In my haste, I forgot (aka was too lazy) to stretch either brain or groin. :)

Charlie, what speed do you use for multi axis turning? Al
1200 rpms - the top end of the JET VS's lowest range. So far have been just too lazy to move the belt up to the next speed range. Probably should since more rpms means less forceful thumping while turning through the "shadows" since the tool can move into the gaps as far between contacting the turnable area.
