The blank is carefully selected. It must be in very
good condition, which means it must not have obvious splits, cracks or any
weaknesses. A damaged blank could shatter when it is revolving at high
speed on a lathe. |
|
Diagonal lines are drawn on the surface of the blank, in order to find its centre. | |
A circle is drawn, with its centre the crossing diagonal lines. | |
A bandsaw is then used to remove the waste material and the circular blank is ready for the lathe. | |
