Hi,
I am reasonably new to turning, as I cannot go to my club, I have purchased my own Axminster lathe to
use at home, I am turning a 6 in diameter elm bowl for my daughter, I have a blank, when making it circular with a bowl gouge, getting rid of pva with sbowl gouge, I find that the lathe slows down when I apply the gouge, going back to normal speed when I remove the gouge, the speed is set to approx 1000rpm,
I don't remember this happening before.
Is this normal?, Or should I increase the speed
Any help would be appreciated
Peter
