Where in Texas are you? I'm in Brenham.

I use Larry Marley also. It tells you how much wood you'll need as well.

Whom did you purchase it from? Why was it shipped from the UK. I thought Teknatool was in New Zealand.

I don't think anyone has answered your question. I'd call the manufacturer. He seems like a guy who is customer oriented. I think he'll help. I don't know how to contact him. I'd go to eBay and...

I use Signature Medallions too. They look great and install easy. Very classy looking. Personalized art work.

I'll tell you how to get it out. It happened to me on my new PM3520. Put a pipe wrench on the drive center. Lock the spindle. Wack the pipe wrench handle. It'll break free. Yes you'll have a...

Do you use the speed control a lot i.e. to stop and start it? As mentioned, might be the pot.
I have a 3520a also.

I took a class with Mark Silay. He had us getting skew quality cuts with a roughing gouge. Watch his videos. His techniques are valid

I use 4" stainless steel hose clamps for segment work. I join them together for larger rings. I got two hundred of them on ebay for about $.40 each. The guy said he had pallets of them. Glue pops...

I use signaturemedallions.com as well. They really look great. You do your own art work and send it to him. He'll work on it and send you a proof. You pay and he gets them done. They are made...

Just cut a cove in both sides. Purchase steel balls from ebay. Woodgears.ca guy made a home made lazy susan that way. He made a race to keep the balls spaced out.

I'm considering purchasing this staple gun. I had a 1/2" crown stapler years ago and loved it. I know it's 7/16". I'd like to have another. I'm just a hobbyist so no heavy work to be done with...

I have a different brand, but it produces the same fog. I took off the plastic "muffler" and turned a piece of 3/4" Sch40 PVC pipe which fits very tight in the threaded hole where the muffler used...

excellent.

I think your bowl looks great! Sometimes you just have to go with what the wood will bring. You cut away bad places and then you make a shape with whats left. Write someones name on the bottom of...

I think you'll find that 600rpm restriction is just boiler plate for lawyers. Cole jaws are more for centering than holding. You risk damage or otherwise marring your bowl if you over tighten the...

Since no one else knows for sure, I'm safe to add my 2 cents.
First.You should unplug your VFD after every use. I don't care how long you've been lucky. I lost my PM 3520 due to a lighting...

I do this all the time. Get a dental pick/tool (or something similar). Pick out all the tailings left by the worms. Use your air compressor to blow it all out. The holes will clean up well. Get...

It's not edge grain. You don't have exposed end grain on segmented bowls, unless you want it that way.

Thanks

I have cut, glued up, turned and finished a 10.5" diameter segmented bowl. It has 48 segments per ring. Each ring is composed of Padauk, Purpleheart, and Cherry. The different woods produce a...

I use mine all the time. I don't understand why people think it's a conspiracy for it to be supplied, or their bragging about not using it. It's a safety device. It's like wearing a helmet on a...

I use and highly recommend the 3M 6800. It is a full face mask. It uses the same filters and prefilters the 6300 uses. You can find it for about $100. Look on Ebay. It fits over glasses. It has...

Contact John Lucas on WoodCentral. He made his own tools. He was doing it a lot a few years ago. He is a good demonstrator and instructor. He'll help.

Thanks Grant.
I know it's useful and very plentiful. It's easy to melt and easy to cut.
Cones. Thats a great idea.

This. The height is more likely the cause.
