===== Induction =====
**This machine requires induction to use.**
To get an induction you must first review these videos. You must do this BEFORE attending the in-person induction (booked via event bright).
Safety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X1nZwOZH6M
Changing the Chuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0pwJzHfJ50 \\
Notes:
* We have only 3 cam locks on out lathes.
* Stoning the chuck is not necessary. Keeping the precisions surfaces free of chis is essential.
* We use plywood instead of a block to protect the ways.
* Waxing of the chuck is not necessary.
Skills - Blondihacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Dnmd3lDzA&list=PLY67-4BrEae9Ad91LPRIhcLJM9fO-HJyN \\
Only the following videos are mandatory:
* 1: Theory
* 2: Tool Bits
* 3: Facing
* 4: Tail Support
* 5: Turning
It is recommended to watch the entire series.
Once you have reviewed the videos, book an induction on Eventbrite for the lathe induction.\\
[[https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/metalshop-inductions-804979]]
At this in-person induction we will review how our machines work and have you perform a few simple operations on the lathe.
This induction covers both lathes.
