As pole lathe turners for more than 20 years we must have gone through a mile or two of pole lathe cord and tried many different types.  The conclusion we have come to is that it is normally better simply to buy a decent quantity of polyester cord at a good price that will last a long time.

This is especially the case if you run a woodcraft school with a high number of students on your lathes.

Economical use of cord, will to an extent, also depend on how you set up and operate your lathe.  Winding the cord 2-3 times around the billet should reduce slippage and reduce heat building up which may melt the cord.
