Hi All,
Having recently acquired a Shopfox W1752, my tumble into the vortex may have begun.
I want to be able to turn Shaker style knobs for the flatwork I do, tool handles, Mallets, marking knives, and I am sure a bowl or two will come out sometime. The W1752 has a headstock taper of MT #1, 1" x 8TPI and a 4 hole plate that screws on at the headstock.
I would like to find a suggestion/recommendation for a multipurpose chuck to turn those kinds of items. Sorry for being such a newb.
Does anyone have a recommendations or suggestions? Also any basic turning advices, book recommendations, etc are very, very welcome!
