Heavy taper, help with velocity stack how to.

Very easy to do with a compound. . PM me after six o'clock. And I will walk you through it.

That's what I needed to hear! Thank you! I'll read the rest of this thread soon, thanks for all the replies everyone!

Making a tool to shape the tubing and some MAP has sounds like the easy way...I'm gonna give that a shot! I'll be back if it doesn't work! These are gonna be $3000 stacks by then, it BETTER work!

Although it would require more $ for tooling not to mention set up . The Turnado would work for this , plus you could make a awesome radius leading into the taper . (watch the vid)

Never seen that before! Watched the video, thought it was hokey at first, now I think it is very cool!

It is you just have to plan it out. CNC spoils a lot of people because of the capabilities of them. The way I’d do it is to rough out the parts by turning off the majority of the material then cutting the tapers last. Still with a large block of aluminum this will take a while

It doesn't "spoil" anyone it just removes all of the drudgery that doing such a job manually would entail, one would still have to know how to run a lathe job, it is not quite as simple as saying "Alexa make this part for me" (-:

That is pretty cooll! I'd be a bit nervous on steel on a full size lathe, but that opens up a lot of doors.

i agree with both of you....you could scan the Mona Lisa into a computer then print it...at the end of the day, you have a picture of the Mona Lisa, however, if know how to paint it from scratch, that is invaluable. If like to have the skills to be able to do.it by hand, but I don't expect to put 20 years of leaning and hands on in a few months.

Basic kit is $250. Accessories like the large radius shoe are not yet available or priced.

They mention Village Press as being their USA distributor ... but VP doesn't have this item (or the Acute Tool Sharpening System) on their site. Bummer! You'd have to go to their UK distributor.

That's cool, better buy one now before all of the lawsuits put the company out of business.

yeah man, I thought that was just my lack of experience with a metal lathe. a wood lathe, that's pretty normal, metal seems to throw some spice to the whole equation!
