now round out your blank, when the plug nears the size you desire, check it with a pair of calipers... once you are satified the diameter is good, continue on with your plug... sand and mark the plug using the stylus and cutter... move the cutter to one side and bring each mark around the plug...I prefer to do this by turning the lathe by hand, rather than turningon the machine...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
