Turn Spectraply? Read this warning first - Herb G - 05-13-2018 I found this on another forum. It's worth reading if you turn Spectraply. Read this warning !!! RE: Turn Spectraply? Read this warning first - Arlin Eastman - 05-13-2018 Herb I think this is a 1 in 1,000,000 kind of thing. I have turned many without issue. RE: Turn Spectraply? Read this warning first - Herb G - 05-13-2018 Yeah, but any unsuspecting turner would be in for a surprize if that chunk flew out at you while turning. RE: Turn Spectraply? Read this warning first - handi - 05-13-2018 ANY man made material can contain foreign objects. The OP only happened to find his in Spectraply and blamed the material. I have seen bugs trapped in 2” thick acrylic sheets, and ALL SORTS of weird things pressed into sheet goods. And, of course, even actual wood Lumber can hide all sorts of objects that get absorbed of even shot into the trunk. RE: Turn Spectraply?

Looks like a good reminder that it is a good idea to use a metal detector on any wood before we start turning it. Thanks for the reminder. RE: Turn Spectraply?

I would say that is a great idea if a person can afford one. RE: Turn Spectraply?

I've found shotgun pellets in wood that I was turning, and some other wood I was ripping down on a tablesaw. RE: Turn Spectraply?

Inexpensive and easy to use, this hand held unit quickly scans recycled wood to save time, and avoid expensive blade changes. Alerts metal presence with both LED lights and audible tone. Requires one 9 volt battery, not included.
Biggest thing to me is not only lumber but logs and the one I seen costs over $120. I did have a few logs with shotgun slugs and what looks like .45 too and something with a copper jacket. |
