Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 99 - Lathe spacers - part2 Media

In part 2 of this project I am selecting the tools that I want to use for the lathe, going over their quality, and writing the G-code that will actually produce the part on my new Tormach CNC Lathe. I decided to write the g-code by hand to re-familiarize myself with hand coding because I used to do a lot of it several years ago when I had my old CNC hobby lathe. It's fairly simple, and it really helps you gain an understanding of what every command does.

In the upcoming part 3 we'll actually get around to making the part and seeing how accurate this lathe is. (hint: VERY!)
