Yeah if only the power companies would turn the poles a final time they
would look so much better. :-)

All they need is a set of turning tools that you can put on a tractor
bucket and you'll be set! Nothing like "Real Man" turning.

I believe it's always a good idea to start slow until the piece is round,
then you can run it at whatever speed you want.

Remember Tom Plamann's huge shop-built lathe? For turing
architectural columns.

Good catch.

Look at the spec data on the right of the page - lists inches.

Question.
I'm going to turn some 19' columns on it. Do I run it at the full
3600 rpm?
