So my father just bought this lathe
POWERMATIC - 4224 Lathe, 3HP, 1 or 3 PH, 230V
I understand that it's designed for wood. I just wondering if I can use it turn plastic. I'm considering trying to make my own canister light. The shop that my father bought it from has turning classes and I'm going to take one before I try the canister light. My father also worked as an electrician and is an electrical engineer so the electrical part shouldn't be a problem. I'm planning on purchasing the Airspeed Press book on building a canister light.
Thanks for any advice.
