Turning Stainless Steel with a Butter Knife – Is It even Possible?

What happens when you mix precision machining with poor life choices? In this not-at-all ridiculous series, we try to turn Stainless Steel on a lathe using a butter knife. Yes, the same tool you use to spread peanut butter is now our cutting instrument of choice. Will it slice through metal like a hot knife through... well, Steel? Or will it instantly become a vibrating disaster that haunts our dreams? Quick answer no.
