Continuing from other post.
Notice the nice curls peeled off the blank. The cutter used is carbide, same as is used for aluminum.
Finished turning. Very smooth, but too wet to give a light finish sanding.
Bowl ready for inside turning. It'll be held in a collet on the plug. No time to finish today, had to go to dinner. Tomorrow I'll finish. I'm hoping to have very thin wall thickness to allow drying without cracking.
Total cutting time about 10 minutes. Time to draw in CAD and program about 1/2 hour.
