JEWELERS LATHE 1 CLASS
FEBRUARY 22, 2003




This class was taught by Russ Aikins. Assiting Russ was Bill Andrle. The class photo shows (left to right): Michael McGuire, Bill Andrle (in back), Rick Rose, Bob Nicolaysen, Mike Coker, Mark Vozar, Bruce Woolridge, James Walker, Joe Richards, and Frank Desmond.

At the time of the class, 6 students did not have their own jewelers lathe. They were shown the differences between a jeweler and micro lathe. They are now in a better position to decide which type of lathe they should purchase.

The students made gravers which they used to make a sanding wheel for the lathe. Techniques taught were: using the graver, cutting arbors to size, finding the center of arbors for purposes of drilling and tapping, and how to disassemble and adjust the lathe bearings. All had a good time and finished their projects early.


Joe Richards works with his lathe while assistant instructor Bill Andrle shows Bruce Woolridge how to hone his graver.
