No, take your time, watch the heat on tools and keep tool rest close to stock.

surely isn't turning metal this without the use of screw fed/mounted tools dangerous? You have your fingers awfully close to lacerating metal shavings.

I love all your videos. I sent you an email with a couple of pictures of a guard I made for a roughing gouge. I was trying to make the sharping jig I saw on one of your videos and sorta got side tracked. The PVC can be heated to fit over the gouge or it might just be a perfect fit like it was on mine. I cut a slit in it and glued in the plexiglass. Then cut another slit so it would fit over the gouge nice an tight. I figured you could get this out to more people than me. Thanks again.

Capt. My lathe's slowest speed is 500 RPM.  Is this going to be too fast to turn alumimum?

Fun to watch video! Good job. Is that your woodturning scraper you used? or did you make it just for turning aluminum?
