My limited knowledge, I think metal lathes run at slower RPM's. |

metal lathes usually have a 3 or 4 jaw chuck to hold the work piece in place rather than the dead center with sharp edges to grab the wood. And metal lathes dont have a tool rest for the lathe chisels but im sure if you have a metal lathe you have the know how to fabricate something to substitute. ps.. some metal lathes can reach speeds of 4-5 thousand rpm. personally i have a small tabletop metal lathe and a 48inch wood lathe. and i try to keep the workpiece to its designated machine.

thanks for the help. I asked my wood shop teacher, and he said that i can use the wood lathe. is it possible to start with dowling to make it smooth from the start? |

While that would be one way to start, the real question is what king of wood do you want to make your lure out of? That question might be more suited as a new post on the Hardbait Forum. Everyone is always asking for general info on wood; but think a title like "What is a good wood to turn on a lath?". I think you'd get some useful information. A lot of it will depend on the type of fish you plan to go after... Musky guys like yellow cedar and maple, Bass guys tend to use softer woods like bass wood. So, talk your question to the experts... |
