Quartz tubing being worked on the lathe
Thomas
Hession is necking down a large diameter quartz tube in this clip. Protective
clothing and a face shield must be worn to provide shielding from the immense
amount of heat given off by the hydrogen burners. It takes a tremendous amount
of energy to work the material.
In this video, Tom is adding a precision ground flange to a 50 liter reaction flask.
Here you can see Tom forming glass harmonica cups from pure quartz on the lathe.
