I have 3hp, 3ph, 6 pole motor running on a vfd. Pretty strong. Not sure I could stall, maybe slip the belt, but I havent yet.

I'm looking for a larger bowl roughing gouge, preferably 3/4" or larger in an M42 steel.
Anyone have one they love?
Thanks!
Thats cool. If you have the built info and are willing to share, I may give that a try. I can do some fab.
Maybe...
Got a design you can share?
No, I talked to them, but they said it'd be 8+ weeks before they could get me that LH insert.
Craft Supplies had everything at a good price and Ron got me some good info and even dug thru their...
Thanks all. I went with a Vicmarc after talking to one of their tech people. They put me in touch with a stateside supplier who had both a 1 1/4x8 insert and 1 1/8x8 Left Hand insert (amazingly!).
I've been using the Mini Monster Hollowing System for years with my smaller lathe and love it. Now, I need a full sized system for my big General 26020 lathe.
Monster is no longer in business, so...
I see the Vicmarc 120 comes in direct thread and insert versions. You can get the direct thread in 1 1/4x8, which is the inboard size of my lathe.
Is there an advantage to either option?
Will...
I also have 180 and 600 wheels. Great combo from Ken.
Also, I have Reed's RoboRest setup. I may have been one of his first customers for that. Very handy rest. Well built and easy to use.
Yeah. And I can use the VFD to reverse rotation also, so a lockdown is probably a good idea.
Someone did recommend the Vicmark 120 to me. I'll look up the 150 info.
Sorry, I forgot that info.
The goal is working up to a platter at 28-32" and up from there as i get accustomed to doing them. Eventually, 48" if all goes well. Also, some large vases from logs.

Hi all,
I've been turning for several years now, but never anything larger than about 16" diameter bowls on my own lathes, and never needed to purchase a big chuck for my own use. Time to up the...
Are you all looking for NOS tapered irons, or would good users in need of a little cleaning work also? I have a couple dozen, including a couple Bergs.
I've had the LV waterstone pond for a couple years and find it works pretty well. The holders work as designed, as long as you use that side ledge instead of just the bar and cam. The instructions...
Oh yeah...
Well, unintended consequences, indeed. I had no idea this thread would go in this direction. I just received an call from a friend asking me if I’d seen this post recently, so I figured I’d check in....
Ditto. I got lucky. Local auction had a retoother and setter, both mounted to the same stand. I got them both, and several boxes of vintage Nicholson and K&F files, all for $70. I already have the...
Malcolm, it appears that it sold already. That was quick. Apparently, some folks value them in that condition.
Mine. The #3's are on the other side of the #2's, top row.

Malcolm and Kent, you guys are just too generous. As tempting as it is, I couldn't possibly take advantage of you like that. :D
Actually, other than the posts that are simple derision (one of which was hilariously ironic), most of these responses mirror exactly what my initial plans were upon buying these. I planned on buying...
Well, aside from my avatar, which is my plane till made with laminated curly cherry ply, trimmed in mahogany and moisture-barrier treated felt, I've made a few hundred pens, mostly from kits, others...
No, Chris, I didn't take that from your comments at all. I've received some email from folks who think that people who collect anything that has value over $1000 is doing it to out of a sense of...
Yeah, the production of this thread is pretty crappy, in my opinion. I'll have to beat myself up about that a bit.
It was originally in the Neander forum, then deleted because a Mod justifiably...
I've posted this on 5 other forums and groups, Joe. Your "I just suffered through this same post on a competing forum. " didn't get us off to a very friendly start. I apologize for my sarcasm.
