Scribing a Line is a good way to cut stock. Sets up a Stress Fracture and with a little back and forth bending, not a full 90, you can watch the separation. Think the Thickest I've done is 1/32" in Brass using a Vice and Smooth Steel Bars to clamp along the line. 🤔
Thank you, Alan for showing after completion adjustments on the lathe. Other lathe build series show the first cuts it ever makes and then no follow up at all.
Work is on saturday overtime, so it's an easy way of getting a vid out :) Plus the shaper ram slide ways are not playing nicely, lots of tedious stuff that does not edit well.
Lunch time entertainment with Mr Allen. Really glad it's working out as good as it is.
Ah shims and lathes... the hours i've spent trying to get that right on a lathe with wear at one end!

I think of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance every time I use a soda can for shim stock.
That was a great book, I need to re-read it sometime
