Hi Allen!

Laguna sells a very nice wheel kit that bolts onto the 18-36... You may want to check that out.

Re: material and length, I have used glass in the past but recently settled on plastic... In part because of safety, but primarily because I can easily cut the plastic flush to the top of the vase...
This is great advice given that EMI is a likely cause... I am also an amateur radio operator and use the same 220v circuit for my 1836/S1 and my kilowatt HF radio amplifier (keying morse code into...

Just had to.... Ely :D
Ditto! Great lathe, but I also found myself changing speed when getting up-close and personal with the headstock... I simply swapped the knob with a nice smaller one on my Razortip burner... solved! ...
Hi Jeff! I live in Troutman and often visit Wall Lumber in Mayodan, NC - http://www.walllumber.com . It is a very scenic drive to the north from you - less than an hour or so... I picked up some...

I have had no issues with the electronics after a year and a half... And I am skeptical that you experienced TWO switch/pot failures in a relatively short time... A likely cause is one or more...
Yes, I use the indexing lock to keep the spindle in the same position for dealing with tearout, carving, etc... All low-torque operations that do not overly stress the indexing pin (unlike chucking...
To each their own, I guess... I use the spindle lock all the time with wrench or tommy bar with no problem... Once a slight pressure is applied, the button stays in until the tightening or loosening...
You may also want to consider a good quality chop saw... works for me!

I have the Greenworks 16-inch 40v cordless saw and am very pleased. It will cut for a very long time between charges and power is comparable to a gas saw. Of course, when choosing, you basically...
Glad you found a workaround! But I still believe there may be some adjustment to make it right. Mine is set such that the banjo is fully free with the handle at the 12 o'clock position, and and I...
I recall seeing that the Robust lathes have an interlock that disables startup when spindle lock is engaged. IMHO, that feature should be mandatory for any spindle lock that does not pop out on its...
Be sure there are no shavings built up on the locking washer surface or underside of the ways... If no joy, suggest a slight adjustment of the locking nut so that the cam shaft rotates a bit more......
Call me odd, but I really do not feel the need for locking the retaining button. I just push the lock in with one hand while putting slight pressure on the chuck wrench with the other. Then both...
I saw the video... Sounded like a big capacitor blew up in the Delta Electronics S1 inverter... He could (should) have just replaced the inverter under warranty and move on, but he chose to return...
Scott, Just curious about this comment. The Laguna 1836 uses a 6207 LLU (two rubber seals) bearing on the inboard side. As comparison, the PM 3520c uses two 6207 ZZ (two metal shields) bearings. ...
Finding an indispensable but unusable tool can be like finding a lemon or, as I prefer, a glass of lemonade... A reason to buy a new, better quality tool (e.g., Doug or Dave) should never be...
If you do not have a large forester bit or drill press to hold it, you may want to lock the piece in a vise and then use a hand-held power plane to flatten... Lot's of ways to skin this cat!

I assume some educational institutions may require guards... along with other useless features such as, automatic shutoff for long idle periods or catch detection. A few manufacturers seem to...
I hope no one is using the key for a tommy bar... (I also have had no problems with the ball end key and SN2.)

Hi Richard! I chose the GreenWorks 40v with 16 inch bar. The reviews were good and the quality seems OK for that class of saw so far. (The saw without the battery is priced in the disposable...
FWIW, I have a 16 in. cordless chainsaw with a 40v Lithium battery (don't laugh - cuts great - even rips!), which I keep in the back of the car just in case I see something along the side of the...
