Lathe for cold working?
I am thinking about a lathe for cold working. Something small like a bench top type. Any opinions?
Thanks

A lathe or a lap? A flat lap is a great thing to have around the studio.

No, not a flat lap. I have one and your right, it's a great tool. But it's a lathe that I want.

There are two types of glass lathes ....
* One is used with burners to shape hollow vessels.
* The other is an engraving lathe, sometimes used for carving and/or polishing.
No, they are not interchangable

Nothing, cause I'm a dork  I had lathe in my head when I was posting but that was the way wrong term. My friend Kelly set me straight so it would be something like a Genie. Geeezzz....my husband is a machinist too. I guess I can search now and maybe, just maybe find what I'm looking for.
Thanks

Like a metal lathe? my dad had one when we were kids. The lathe spun the metal and he had these tols that when layed against the metal would carve out portions. You could change the design by the piece used to carve or the angle applied. Sounds like a good idea but you would have to have a box or something to contain the "shavings" and you would have to wear a good respirator.

Glass is not "cut" on a lathe the same way wood or metal is. On a glass lathe, a burner heats the glass, and the glass is moved while hot. An engraving lathe holds grinding bits, and the glass is hand held up to the bits in order to carve, or engrave, the glass.

 Cynthia,
This is what I have. Come bring your ideas over and we can play with it.
Diamond Pacific Genie
Here's the Diamond Pacific 2009 Catalpg
It's an extremely versatile machine. I got mine for $50.00 including accessories. It was
one of the perks of working for Bagley amid the utter chaos. You can all hate me now.
