Two Forthcoming Workshops on Elementary Machining on the Lathe

We will be holding two extremely basic workshops here at the PLS machine shop on Saturday afternoons after the workday (1:00 PM). These will be open to any interested regular or associate member and will focus on the rudimentary use of our small (6” swing) craftsman (Atlas) lathe. These workshops are aimed at the complete beginner:

Workshop 1: Facing, center-drilling and turning a small piece of stock to dimension.
  November 15th, 1:00 or right after the meeting in the workshop here at Rahns.

Workshop 2: Boring (inside turning) and cutting-off.
  December 6th, 1:00 in the workshop here at Rahns.

All are welcome to watch, but since they will involve hands-on experience we must limit the number of participants to five members. For those hands-on participants there will be a $3.00 materials charge payable in advance (i.e., you must register in advance, first-come-first-serve). Please contact Lynn Hammond at brillcar@aol.com or cell 484-238-7335.

As of 10/22/08, four openings remain.
