Scott designs and builds the heads for each of our turnings, such as bed posts, chair legs, stiles and other turned parts. Sometimes over 20 knives are needed on each head to get the precise shape that our designer calls for. Scott must construct these heads so that they are carefully balanced. This insures a smooth cut and, very importantly, a safe operation. Scott also grinds each of the knives for the lathe and most of the other machines in the factory.
Sharp knives insure a smooth cut and ultimately a more precise shape and a better finish.
