The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I have 2 of the ones in the photo. The 1st on the left and the last on the right. I just use them for scribing into petg and poly carb. I don’t cut lacquers, for what my experience is worth.

Ahem... you’re a MER-MAN.

Was also thinking that
I have friends from Argentina who chuckle when someone puts a female article in front of a male noun, like La Hombre.
As if the subject has bended from gender

Haha I was firmly basing mine in Zoolander!

Ahem... you’re a MER-MAN.

I had to replace mine too, but I just asked Souri to send me a new one. And he did.

That wood one looks sharp though!

Bless you and your patience, Handcut! Thank you for sharing all of this info.

I’ve been using the transparent blue and green from MyShank pretty consistently, I’ve made a run of the opaque white for a client too. I didn’t have any real concerns with the noise floor on them. I found them pretty comparable to he other myshank colours. The poly carb is a little stiffer than Sour...

Thanks for being so transparent with this, Handcut. Everyone is so helpful, It’s been so much easier trying to navigate the 560 knowing there’s a community of people that are all combating something.

Hey Tragwag,

Still have these?

I agree! Thank you Ruben!

Hi Peter!
Congratulations and welcome!

Thanks Ruben!

Hi Ibai,

My head is set at the top of that adjustment portion. Sorry for the late reply.
I hope it’s working better now for you.

Thanks Mike, for the reminder!
Great time to set up monthly donations too!

I wouldn’t be well into my second year with my 560 without you all and your selflessness. Thank you Steve for having a place for us all. <3

This is fantastic news! Thanks Mike!

I found that I was getting balling/pick up issues when I got a crack in my chip canister lid. Once I was able to create an airtight seal it all returned to normal.

One other difference, I don’t turn on heating until I’ve done my lead in, Obvs not the auto set up. But seems to work for me.

Just want to give props to SueDenim and the other contributors on this post. You all are so helpful, selfless and wonderful humans. Just a quick appreciation post. <3

Thank you Discomo! Totally agree. I saw the age of the OP too late after typing. I felt like a jerk, but I still feel like Souri takes a lot of flack needlessly. We’re all blessed that he decided to make this crazy piece of machinery. I’ll never know all of its secrets, but I couldn’t be happier wit...

I also have to defend Souri here. I've had setbacks and have had to lean on the incredible network of cutters of this community as well, shout out to MarkRob and SueDenim and Mikey D! I've had my 560 for 2 years now and have never broken a stylus, I have always had responses from Souri. I think the ...
