Step 2Turning the Aluminum
Okay, so now that you have all of those materials (or just the lathe and the Aluminum Round Bar), you're going to want to start your "center piece."
The center piece can be defined by the part on your machine that spins around really fast, while emitting tasty, fluffy, cotton candy.
The Aluminum Stock does not come perfectly round (which is why you bought 3.25" dia instead of 3"
In order to make sure that the whole center piece is perfectly round, you're going to need to turn the aluminum round bar until it has a diameter of 3".
For instructions on turning, follow http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Operation/Turning/turning.htm
