Need information on woodturning on a metal lathe. Just purchased a logan 200 metal lathe and would also like to use it for small wood projects. Do I use the same toling or have to get a rest and chisels for turning wood. Any information or direction to articles/books would be appreciated.

Hey There
I Wouldn't Use My Metal Lathe For Woodworking Because
You Will Get The Wood Dust Down In All Your Gears And
Worm Gears. And With The Lathe Having To Have A Layer Of
Of Oil On It, You Will Have A Hard Time Keeping It Clean. The
Cost Of A Wood Lathe Is Fairly Low. It May Be Better To
Check One Out Before Using Your Metal Lathe.
