Should I begin with mild steel on lathe?

| 429 forum posts 268 photos | If you have a look on the JB website there is a link called"Applications for toolholders" This will help you visualize the various types and what they can be used for. I find the SDJCR type useful for smaller stuff. I have no connection to the company, It was recommended to me on this forum and I found the quality and service to be excellent. Incidentally, what workholding method are you using on the Sherline? Collets or chucks? It has no bearing on your question, just curious. Steve

As I have little experience it would be silly of me yet to say I plan to use a given method. However I have 4 jaw and 3 jaw chucks also collets. As I understand things certain sizes / shapes require one or other I will find where one or another is needed. Any pointers always gratefully received. Chris
