Thanks all. I returned the Nova because I just didn't want to take a chance.
I saw an old 2013 post here that the Nova Comet II had low speed belt slippage problems. Its 2020 now and I was wondering if it still does have those problems because I have one on the way. If it...
Chuck came today. Screwed it on the D. grinder, put a 1 inch Kutzall round burr in it(the Extreme) Purrs along like a kitten! Really takes out the wood too and no slowdown regardless of how much...
Thanks all. I think I found one. oddly enough, it comes attached to 3/8 jacobs chuck and has a 3/8 threaded shaft that will fit the hole in my cup rasps.
a 6"(about) shaft and adapter that would convert my angle grinder to use 2" cup rasps or burrs with 3/8 inch holes.
I'm about googled out. I think Amazon would have it but either they just don't...
Thanks again about the woodruff key. I remember now having heard of it but I didn't know all those particulars.
And thanks every one for posting! My 2 bandsaws are both over 40 years old an...
Thanks, Lee! Well I was a Swabby also, but back in the late 50's. Well I did it! It was a tight space, about like working in the wheelwell of C130, and very little illumination,. I pushed on the...
I took both wheels off to replace the upper and lower tires. wheels came off easily and to top wheel was replaced just as easily. I have a problem with the lower wheel though. The shaft has a key...
Thanx Larry. I'll look into that!
I want to carve bowls no larger than about 12" by 12". I'm just not one to get into those huge dough bowls and things so I won't need an adze. I plan to use found wood like limbs and such.
I have...
Thanks for the advice John Keeton. I am not ashamed and not macho enough to thumb my nose at safety! I am in my 77th year and have been working with wood since I was 8. I still have both eyes and all...
Thanks, Fellows. Looks like the Jet is the one!

Good! Where?
Both my HF mini lathes have now bit the dust because of the belts shredding. I tried all the methods I got off the internet to push the spindle free so I could change the belt but no go. So I...
You know, I think I told you that I had turned before. It's been almost 10 years now and I have forgotten most of what I learned to do before. You talking about the skew reminded me I used to use it...
John K, Welcome to the "Ole Geezer's Club!:D
Now that we've covered the Hunters(and I watched all John's videos) How do the Easy Wood tools compare(EWT)? I see they are about the same price range,...
Well I just figured it out on the Hunter site. I have a #3 Hunter instead of a #5 Badger. They have the same size cutter it seems(3/8") but has a straight shaft instead of a tapered one. Will all...
Thanks for replying John C and thanks for making the videos. I will definitely put the Hercules on my list for a future purchase. I have 7 or 8 of the HF cheap Turning tools. They of course, are not...
John K, the photos are great and a good inspiration! When I get big I hope I can turn as well! Although at seventy-six, I don't think I'll get any bigger except side-wise.
I live in middle...
Those pics are beautiful John! I hope I get good enough to turn boxes like that! The size and the convenience of the Hunter is great. Imagine! No more sharpening! If I could get by with just two -...
Hi!
I'm a beginner but have been away from turning for a few years. The last tool I purchased was a "Hunter #5" chisel. I want to turn some small boxes(up to 3 inches) and would be starting from a 2...
You can do a buffer that way because it doesn't have a guard, but grinders have a guard that shields all but a portion of the wheel in front of the operator. I have never owned a buffer because I...
Thanks for the comments! I have an 8" grinder that I bought when I started turning. I don't like to use it even for turning chisels. That sucker sounds like a B-52 taking off! I've been working with...
I may be missing something(probably my mind!) but all the bench grinders I have seen rotate in a CCW rotation. But I see all kinds of "wheels" advertised for sharpening and honing wood chisels and...
Ok, it looks like I forgot to specify which sharpeners I meant. It's the Ken Onion edition. I think I figured it out myself! It seems that the lowest the KO will go is 15 degrees. Taking that to mean...
