    Default Another Rotary Litho

    I tried a 3" PVC carve in the rotary jig and am quite happy with the results!

    Any way to cheat and get a 4" PVC in ? ( Always trying to stretch the limits )

    Looks great. I also noticed the base. You did a great job on it too.

    I don't have the CW rotary jig but I have one that I built and only used twice, works ok and I was happy with what I came up with. So is the CW rotary jig a max of 3" dia?

    The jig has a max of 4.25" diameter, but a 4" pipe is 4.5".

    It will take a 3" pipe which the outside diameter 3.5... pipe is measured by outside diameter ... tubing is measured by inside diameter

    Thanks for the nice comments ! The Litho was carved on CarveWright but the base was carved on my home built machine. Each machine has a purpose in my shop. I also use Aspire and the base was a modification of a project MT has designed for Aspire users. Modifying his design and applying it to a Litho base gave me a quick fix to meeting the Christmas deadline. I want to make sure MT gets the credit he deserves.

    I am quite pleased with the rotary jig and it has opened a few more possibilities for projects.

    Happy carving a Merry Christmas to all!

    Steve
