Industrial Metals 112: Introduction to Metal Lathe (Clearance+Metal Scribe)

In this two-session, six-hour class you’ll learn the essential operations of a manual metal lathe while making a precision scribe tool — an aluminum-bodied layout tool with a carbide insert. A scribe is an extremely useful tool when doing layout work in the metal shop or jewelry studio. You’ll practice turning, facing, drilling, and parting on both aluminum and brass, learn how to fit materials together accurately, and finish your tool to a professional standard.

What you Will Create

A carbide tipped metal scribe.

What to Bring/Wear

Closed-toed shoes. Long sleeves and hair will need to be pulled back.
