I read the Krylon reviews, and yes, lots of negative ones. All were focused on the quality of the spray, nothing on the UV protection - so no help there. I don't have an magic answer for keeping...

I think cup centers are one of those tools that you really don't realize how well they work until you try them. As others have mentioned, if you do get a catch, the work just spins. If that happens,...
I think a simple solution for single phase may be a step up transformer. A 1.5HP motor is 1,125 watts. I'd add a little safety factor to that, say 1,500 watts. You can even buy these units with a...
I assure you, you can buy direct from Steve. Call him if interested. I have no business association with Steve, just known him for years.
If you want to go that deep, look at the system Steve Sinner sells: Advanced Lathe Tools. Steve does some awfully deep hollowing. He's a one man shop. You have to call him is you want one. His...
Expect to find a knowledgeable and skilled turner and teacher. David has the ability to quickly assess every turner in your class and help him or her take their turning to their next level. Expect...
I would respectfully disagree with this statement. The Oneway live center was copied by Powermatic and Jet - there was even a lawsuit involved, which Oneway won. The Robust live center shares a...
Portland AAW will probably be a little smaller this year. Anytime the AAW goes to a "corner" of the US, the attendance drops off. That said, it's more international and "artsy" than SWAT. As Bobby...
There's certainly a lot of different ones out there. Perhaps the first, and perhaps the best, (IMHO anyway) are the ones from Easy Wood Tools. They're made in the USA and a sister company also...
That's just sloppy manufacturing. I think it's important you get that info to Rikon someway.
That lathe was an 18x47 and painted different colors and sold under a variety of different names depending on what country you are in. My guess is you're from Canada. Have you tried calling Busy Bee...
Well there you go, the exception that proves the rule. Nothing beats good diagnostics. Good luck with your repair.
In my experience with inverters, if there are no lights on, you actually have a power supply problem, not an inverter problem. Since this only happens after you shut everything down and then try to...
For me, I use negative rake scrapers on the inside of a bowl, and shear scrape the outside. I shear scrape with either a bowl gouge with handle dropped way down, or a spear pointed scraper rolled up...
I like old iron too. My daily summer driver is a 57 Belair. Anyway, converting the old WT lathe to a VFD might be a fun project for somebody that likes old iron, but the comments other made about...
You didn't say what kind of turnings you're interested in: bowls or spindles. If bowls, get this book:...
Either one of those machines will be fine for spindles. As many on here will tell you, they not the first choice for bowls due to swing and not going slow enough. The old reeves drives can be noisy...
Are you doing a lot of drilling with a forstner bit? If so, they put a lot of torque on the quill and you can raise a burr on the groove where the set screw and lock screw run. Mike Peace has an...
Anybody have any feedback on these tools? Comments on their customer service? I'm particularly interested in feedback on their parting tool. Thanks
Hi David, go to turnrobust.com and find the toolrest page. There is a video that will probably tell you what you need to know.
I asked, and it is their first sale in nine years. Nice opportunity.
I don't think you'll find anyplace that has a replacement Jet tailstock listed separately. At the risk of sounding obvious, you might try calling Jet. They sell replacement parts.
Hi, if you look in your manual, there is a picture of the locking mechanism. Simply remove it, clean it and add some lubricant. Be sure to have the bevels oriented correctly when you tighten it the...
I have stood by several Nichol's lathes but never turned on one. The owners told me they are great for very large work. They all had "normal" sized lathes like your General for regular turning. I...
Hi, try going back to your settings for saving a PDF. You can probably select a reduced file size.
