Powermatic is mustard and mayo is Oneway. Even higher priced than PM.:eek:
I have the same setup on my PM and from the same good guy. I use a plastic washer over the spindle and have plugged the set screw holes in the drum. Until I plugged the holes I had a leak. If you...
Pete, on my 3520B all I had to do is take the set screws out and slide the hand wheel off. What vacuum adapter are you going to use? I got the Oneway and it is great.

Count me in for $20.00. I think that that idea is outstanding. Memories from the '40s.
If your threads are 1x12 60 degree, you can get an adapter for the Oneway chucks from Oneway. Other than that, you can find an adapter that will change your spindle size and thread patern. The only...
As a beginner, I don't have 6 months of wet turnings just waiting to be finished. So,,,,, I figured that the next best thing would be to test the DNA soak bit. I roughed out four bowls from wet oak...
Hello Raymond, enjoyed the interview. Don't understand what those drinks are that you have with the BBQ. Lemonade??? Softdrinks???? You got it right with the first one. And no, I don't want any...
The skew is slowly comming under control. Still have to learn to keep it sharp. This is a trial candle stick. Apprentice run.

The practice is starting to pay off. If you want to you can call the second picture a bream bonker. You use it gently with thumb and forefinger to bonk a bream after he tries to steal the cricket. ...
Very nice. The second picture looks like it is dedicated to a English football player.......

Welcome to the wonderful world of money spending, ERRR wood turning. Jump in with both feet right down the middle of the vortex and get it all overwith fast. There is a steep spending curve, ,,,,...
Excellent choice of a machine. I am very glad that mine came in pieces and could be hauled into the shop with a hand truck. Now you will have to build one of the racks that are shown in the manual so...

Have fun.

I need some advice fellows. I need to get a new skew. The one that I have is so old that it has grown moss. I'm not even sure that it is tool steel. Anyway, I need some guidance on the selection of...
Don't catch a cold. If you were to sneeze you would never find it. Great work. I still am in awe of the mini turnings. I take that back, Micro Turnings!!!

A very unique bonker. Well thought out. And Andy, it is like a totem pole, not supposed to be symetrical. Also, if you will notice, it has breakaway points so that if the attacker makes it past...
I have a local club in Charleston that is part of AAW. The only problem is the fact that the Woodcraft store that they "meet" at is 65 miles away from me. Last month the idea was to meet at the...
You guys that are supposed to be beginners (my foot), make me ill. I have been trying to do things like that for practice all week and still have not got it down pat. Grumble, grumble. Anyway,...
As promised, a pic of the spindle disassembled.

Is it extended out all the way? if so, push it back in while turning the hand wheel and see if it picks up the threads. Had this happen on my other lathe some time ago. If that is not the problem,...
