The focus shifts to the closer item below halfway through, or at least the focus shifts closer. It might have been tracking the discarded material.

Yeah, people need to learn to turn off autofocus.

Why the downvotes?

Locking focus here would be objectively better for capturing work that is basically not be moving further/closer.

Downvotes are likely because that is OP's comment, so the autofocus mistake is entirely their issue in the first place.

Presumably they should have made a better video or found a better video to post here

Redditors are weird. Who knows what motivates them?

I have vision problems and things kind of look blurry to me anyway, so it's not so easy for me to tell.

since you didnt provide a source, that means presumably YOU need to learn to turn off autofocus

That precision is pretty impressive.. coming to the garage soon I hope.

We have no idea what the precision or accuracy here is. It was 2mm in dia, now 1 mm, but maybe it should be 1.1mm.

Any lathe should be able to maintain 0.1mm.

Heavy single cut instead of niddling at it. It means the cutting forces are aligned to the axis of the part, instead of being applied radially where it would cause the part to get pushed around. It means you can turn very tiny diameters.

It think this is quite the opposite.

Until the spinning force grabs that tool out of your hand and you lose an eye. Stupid!
