    Thanks again for all the great feedback! I just ordered the Oneway from Lee Valley for $120 USD. I'm not turning such large pieces that the beefier (I think) bearings on the Robust persuaded me to...

    Thank you Roger. This is what I thought but some of what I have read on the internet was somewhat ambiguous. I appreciate the clarification.
  12. Does vacuum pump oil pose a fire hazard?

    I have been reading about DIY approaches to isolating the oil mist produced by a common HVAC type vacuum pump. Most of the DIY ideas involve piping the oil into some sort of container or filter...

    Eugene, I figure that any very porous wood is challenging and red oak is so porous that I'm thinking it would need grain filler. That might not be a desirable part of the finishing process.
