Re: Thickness of Replacement Cork

If you can, get a small lathe with a minimum of a 300mm bed which will easily take clarinet joints. I used to have one but I burnt out the motor on it.

I liked the 2500rpm top speed which gave tenon corks a nice finish - only spin the joints at that speed with all the keys removed and remove the double-headed pillar for the C#/G# and LH2 ring keys as that's very close to the middle tenon shoulder and you don't want that to catch on anything whilst spinning at 2500rpm.

This is only one of many of the same thing going by a different name:
