I met a guy that was retiring to Florida and was dumping woodworking equipment to young newbies like me for insane prices to help get youngins like me started. Incredibly generous of him i thought!
So i got the PSI Turnmaster Commander, a $100 chuck, lathe table, and 16 different Rockler brand lathe tools of various kinds for $250. I got it set up tonight and realized that PSI has zero video tutorials out there. And being a newbie turner, I have no idea what I'm doing. I have plans to take a class in December, but its mid-October and I can't wait anymore.
I thought it would be fun to turn a billy club or something out of some firewood jsut to get a feel for it, but I can't get the spindle lock to stay unlocked!
Anyone out there have a turnmaster commander? I followed the directions on the knob and turned left to unlock it, but it won't STAY unlocked. Am I doing something wrong?
