I bought a PM 14/20 new a short while ago and its a wonderful machine but a problem has crept up. The banjo locking handle springs back when engaged. I can’t find anything obviously wrong, although...
The 1” - 12 thd spindle is kind of an oddball and it may be difficult to find things to fit.
I have a Nova Galaxi lathe that I bought new when they first came out. It has been a great machine but recently has developed an intermittent knocking in the headstock that I can’t figure out. Its...
I have a lot of 4 aluminum blast gates to offer at $30 for the lot. They are 4”. I am in Hampton Roads, Va area, but they can be shipped at cost. They are in good condition. Paypal or check only.
I have one cutter for a Mcnaughton coring tool. Its never been used as far as I know although the paint is scratched from laying around. Price is $25 and I could ship it at cost. Or it could be...
What is the best buffing wheel for buffing varnished wood? (Muslin, cotton, sewed, loose, etc?)
Thanks all. Turpentine worked well enough to get it useful again.
I have a can of quality finishing wax that go hard and shrunk. I,m wondering if there is a solvent or other means to soften it up again.
I,m curious if anyone has tried the new Powercraft air turbine power carver yet and could comment on it.
The thickness of the A model “ways” (the flat part of the bed that the tail stock slides on) is thicker on the A model than on later models. So, regardless of bolt hole location the tail stock will...
I,m trying to use a vacuum chuck on a Nova 16” belt drive lathe and can,t get good vacuum at the business end of the setup. Does anyone know if the spindle has holes in it? Everything is ok up to...
I want to apply a sanding sealer over a rattle can paint finish. I already tried brushing on a laquer based sanding sealer and it disolved the rattle can paint. Looking at whats available on line...
The post title says it. I am familiar with wire burning on a spindle. But haven,t figured out how to burn a line onthe face of a disk or platter? Any help?

I bought one of the beta models early on. I feel it is a great machine, not perfect, but maybe 9 out of ten. Mine had some minor issues that Teknotool took care of. It has a nice long ground bed,...
I cut the rings using a jigsaw. Start by drawing concentric rings on your board with a compass. Figure the angle using graph paper so the rings overlap. Tilt your drill press head or table at that...

I,m pretty sure the items in the top picture are spoon drills for use in an antique type brace (drill). The long taper at the end fit into the brace chuck. They do work.
I don,t know what the...
I try to keep a 100 grit on mine. Its too much trouble to buy a selection of grits and keep changing them out for me, but I don,t do production runs.
Any turners use Watco wipe on poly? Does it work OK?
Anybody use Watco wop? Is it OK?
Katalox is also called royal mexican ebony, so I suppose thats where it comes from. Every now and then the local woodcraft gets a few boards and I stock up. It is extremely hard and can be a little...
