to the 27th Anniversary SouthWest Association of Turners Symposium This is the 27th Anniversary of Southwest Association of Turners. On behalf of the Board of Directors from each of our 28 member clubs, the Executive Committee, the Committee Chairs and all of the many volunteers who work to make this the best Woodturning Symposium in existence, I would like to thank you for your support of the SWAT Symposium for the past 27 years. We expect this will be a great learning experience to all attending. There are 52 vendors who offer tools and accessories, lathes and lathe accessories, woods of all species, finishing, dyeing and enhancement items, sanding materials, new tools and turning items, stabilizing equipment, etc. Once you have purchased that new tool, there will be a Sharpening Booth where you can put the edge on the tool that you desire and then you can go to the Hands On or Pen Turning Booth and try out the new tool(s). We will have the famous and ever popular Two-for-One drawing where there are opportunities to win beautiful art pieces and tools, 1 large lathe (Vicmarc VL300) and 3 Jet 1221 midi lathes. The Two-for-One drawing tickets will first be drawn on Saturday night after the banquet. This will be for approximately 40 art pieces donated by peer selected turners from across the SWAT region. All tickets drawn Saturday night are returned to the bin earning the “Two-for-One” name. The second half of the Two-for-One drawing will occur after lunch on Sunday. This second drawing will be for tools, wood, turning accessories donated from our vendors, with the penultimate prizes being the large lathe and the midi lathes, which will then conclude the festivities of the 2018 Symposium. Our Art Gallery is second to none. It is the largest of its kind in the U.S.A. and is such a special area that we dedicate an entire room for art pieces that are displayed by turners that are attending the Symposium. Any turner has the availability to display (some are for sale) up to ten items in our ART GALLERY. Also, a section in the Art Gallery will be dedicated to the Beads of Courage exhibit of boxes that will be donated to various hospitals to be given to youngsters that are struggling through various treatments for serious life threatening diseases. You can check the SWAT website for more information and a link to the Beads of Courage website. For a very small registration fee of $140 you will be exposed to 7 internationally known Lead Demonstrators (Stuart Batty, Keith Gotschall, Ashley Harwood, George Hatfield, Craig Timmerman, Alan & Lauren Zenreich) and 17 Regional demonstrators, which create 63 turning rotations. You will receive an electronically generated handbook, access to a tremendous Art Gallery, a demonstration by Stuart Batty & Ashley Harwood on Friday night, various vendors and two separate drawings for art and tool items. Women in Turning will gather during lunch on Friday, and World of Woodturning meets after lunch on Saturday. None of the above would be possible without your participation and the efforts of many volunteers that work hard and long to bring the SWAT Symposium to you each year. So, welcome and may you have an outstanding experience at the 27th Anniversary of the SouthWest Association of Turners Symposium.

  • Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals
    Lab Sheet for CNC Laboratory Department of Production Engineering and Metallurgy Prepared by: Dr. Laith Abdullah Mohammed Production Engineering – CNC Lab Lab Sheet Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals What is Numerical Control (NC)? Form of programmable automation in which the processing equipment (e.g., machine tool) is controlled by coded instructions using numbers, letter and symbols - Numbers form a set of instructions (or NC program) designed for a particular part. - Allows new programs on same machined for different parts. - Most important function of an NC system is positioning (tool and/or work piece). When is it appropriate to use NC? 1. Parts from similar raw material, in variety of sizes, and/or complex geometries. 2. Low-to-medium part quantity production. 3. Similar processing operations & sequences among work pieces. 4. Frequent changeover of machine for different part numbers. 5. Meet tight tolerance requirements (compared to similar conventional machine tools). Advantages of NC over conventional systems: Flexibility with accuracy, repeatability, reduced scrap, high production rates, good quality. Reduced tooling costs. Easy machine adjustments. More operations per setup, less lead time, accommodate design change, reduced inventory. Rapid programming and program recall, less paperwork. Faster prototype production. Less-skilled operator, multi-work possible. Limitations of NC: · Relatively high initial cost of equipment. · Need for part programming. · Special maintenance requirements. · More costly breakdowns.

This quick, accurate method will acquaint you with the fundamentals SEGMENTED BOWL of segmenting, which you can then Jim Rodgers apply to more complex pieces. The bowl presented here makes use of a solid layer of wood for the foot and four progressively larger rings, each one comprising multiple segments cut at predetermined angles. Segment-cutting sled As you would imagine, segmented projects require careful attention to creating a blank prior to turning. The table saw is my preferred tool for cutting segments, and a sled with a fence set at the correct angle is the best way to produce identical segments. Some time invested up front creating a good sled will help you far into the future.

  • Segmented Turning in Practical Terms Preface Making Vessels out of Pieces of Wood Isn’T a New Adventure
    Segmented Turning in Practical Terms Preface Making vessels out of pieces of wood isn’t a new adventure. The concept can be traced at least back to making of baskets and kegs. These vessels evolved to meet a need, to store commodities from flower to nails. Woodworkers have elevated this process to create very attractive stave vessels. Other methods have been developed to mass produce vessels for consumer use; for example, salad bowls. Bowls in this genre are made from slabs of milled lumber or wedges of wood pieces glued up to form a blank from which a bowl is turned. These typically aren’t very artful, but meet the utility for which they are designed; for example, salad bowls. They can be very attractive. If the primary objective of the effort is to produce an art piece as opposed to the utility object then there are other techniques likely to be more appropriate to the task. The use of segments formed into flat or sloped rings opens a wider arsenal of designs for the artist. While there are other techniques, this article will focus on the segmented ring technique. Introduction There is a lot of science to the art of segmented vessels. The prospect of facing the details can be daunting even for the experienced woodworker. It needn’t be. This article is an attempt to simplify the process. While other means can be employed, the table saw will be used for cutting segments in this procedure. What is a segmented turning? For our purposes, we’ll stay with the architecture which glues trapezoidal segments into a ring and then glues the rings into a vessel for later turning on a lathe.

The ability to create a complex-looking, segmented turning with no math and without even a single miter joint is simply irresistible to most turners. This project relies on the concept of stacking bandsaw cut rings. The technique is not new nor did I invent it. Turners Mike Shuler and Michael Mode have used the technique for awhile with great success. Years ago, Dale Nish profiled the technique in his book Creative Woodturning, having adapted the technique from the salad bowl industry where its use continues as a means of conserving wood. WOOD SELECTION For this particular little bowl, I used small (about 11/16" square), resin-impregnated pen blanks (see Fig. 1). This material is ideally suited because it is quite strong, which permits a very thin vessel wall, and is available in many colors. However, as you will see, any wood type in almost any size may be used.

  • Notes on Segmented Bowl Construction Preparing
    NOTES ON SEGMENTED BOWL CONSTRUCTION PREPARING FOR SEGMENTED TUNING Major Equipment Here are the necessary and “nice to have” equipment requirements: • Variable speed lathe, firmly mounted • Thickness sander for flattening glued up rings (nice to have) • 6 x 9 belt/disc sander • Drill press or other items to use as a glue press Cutting sled In order to cut accurate segments you will require a fixture that accurately cuts the desired angle repeatedly, allows for accurate segment edge length measurement, and provides safety when cutting smaller pieces. For detailed information on building a cutting sled download complete instructions from either of the following sites: Kevin Neely’s Turned Wood www.turnedwood.com Verified Software www.segmentedturning.com Sanding board Construct this item from a piece of hardwood ¾ x 3 x 16 inches. Joint one face and edge flat and perpendicular, attached a strip of 80 grit sandpaper with contact cement. This will be used to square each ring to the lathe axis as the vessel is assembled. Supplies Here is a list of items you will need before beginning: • 60 – 80 Tooth finish cut blade for your table saw • Selection of hose clamps (6-8 various lengths) • Glue up board and paste wax • A minimum of two 3 inch face plates with hardwood glue blocks attached • Titebond II glue • Straight edge for checking rings • Disk/belt sander for correcting rings and flattening rings w/ 80grit belt • ¼ inch grid graph paper, ruler and compass Tools In addition to your lathe you will require a minimum of turning tools – most of which you probably already have: • Bowl gouge, ½ - ¾ inch for turning the exterior and interior of the vessel • Detail gouge for adding features to the foot • Large (3/8 inch thickness) bowl scraper for cleaning up inside • Calipers for determining wall thickness • Selection of cloth sanding strips (80, 120, 180, 220, 320 grits) • One Way Live Center System with an adaptor to match your lathe’s headstock thread.
