Yes the hole in the banjo is now 1" not a metric size. You can slide the headstock off the ways. It has a screw post between the ways at each end. You just remove that post.

Make sure you check your states laws on bringing non kiln dried wood into the state. Some states are pretty strict to keep from bringing invasive bugs with the wood.

I have had my Grizzly G0766 for about 3 years and am very satisfied with it. I had to replace the pot once and i just recently put a new belt on it. Other then that it has handled everything i have...
Don't be so sure until you check. My old lathe was a 12 inch harbor freight i upgraded to a grizzly G0766 much larger. The gap between the ways was still the same and it fit without modification. ...
If your going to just get rid of it find a scrap yard if you have one near you. It will not make you rich but they might give you enough to cover the gas and lunch. Alternatively get a 3/4 inch...
Same here if i am not home to accept the delivery the person home has strict orders not to accept if there is anything more then a scuff or ding in the crate. If it was packaged like my 766 was it...
Same set i bought 4 years ago. Price went up alot i paid $66. They are measured by the flute not the shaft diameter so the 1/2" will actually be 5/8"
The hurricane bowl gouges are good starter tools. I still have the bowl gouge set i bought 4 years ago and still use them along with my Thompson gouges. They still have lots of metal left to grind...
That sounds more like a danish oil type mix to me. Equal parts solvent, drying oil and varnish or poly. That should buff well.
I will second this. Every time i regrip clubs i buy a roll.
The 2 i use most often are a 1" and a 2 1/8" depends on the size hollow form i am making.
Forstner bits are going to get you the straightest hole because once the hole is started the side walls of the bit guide it straight. So if you start with a straight hole you should finish with one....

Steb centers are not good for this situation they are designed as a safety center to prevent bad catches. I will echo using a bigger 4 point center if you are using the stock one that came with the...
To an extent you can adjust the path by pulling the blade back a little bit and direct it on a slightly different path. If you pull the blade all the way out you can open the kerf up and make a...

From reading the manual on how to work the self sharpener i am going to take an educated guess that it works like the ones that clip onto the end of the bar and you press it into a log. Its not...
You could also put pieces of 2x10's between the joists under the lathe spaced apart every 2 to 3 feet. That could help by tying all the joists together to cut down on side to side movement.
Are you able to remove the plywood under the lathe? If you can i would put blocks under the floor joists to add extra support under it then put the plywood back.
Ebony is not straight black it has a hint of brown in it. I picked up some powdered dyes from amazon that i can blend colors and mix in water or DNA. India ink is not thin paint it soaks into the...
Mortise should be slightly bigger then the jaws fully closed. That gets you the most surface area of the jaws touching the wood. The ends of the jaws should be touching the bottom of the mortise.
