Hmm. I was going by what the website said, which was that orders placed this week would be processed on the 16th.

Right, I'm happy to buy from Vince, but he's out and I want some stuff for this weekend!

Hello,
I'd like to try some power sanding this weekend and I understand people like the products sold by Vince's WoodNWonders.
Unfortunately, he's out until next week, so where should I grab some...

Thanks Col, I have been wondering if something like this would be worth a try. Your experiences have motivated me to head out to the garage and start raking around for some thin material to try this...

Scrapers! That's an interesting thought. These are tools that I've completely neglected in my thinking. I guess another potential advantage of scrapers is that they presumably don't have quite the...

Thanks, I think it will be just hand sanding for this one (I hate sanding...)

I turned a long narrow rectangular sushi plate thingy the other night. This involved turning a lot of "air" which was part of the fun. I discovered, however, that I did not have a good way of sanding...

Thanks for the info.
The lathe I got was an almost immaculate PM 3520B. I've been scouring CL pretty much daily for about a year and had to move quickly to get it. It came with an assortment of...

I got this chuck (plus two Oneways and a Vicmarc!) with a nice lathe I bought today.
Can anyone tell me what this chuck is? The logo is pretty clear, but I can't see any numbers or lettering etc....

It might just about be possible with one of the fatter style of pens with bushings that insert into the tubes, but even then that seems like a really hard way to do it. I can't see how that would...

Well, clearly I used the wrong word when I said "dead" standard. Maybe I should have said "unpopular", which it seems to be in this country.
In any case, it doesn't seem like it should be too much...

I'm somewhat interested in a used Oneway Lathe. It's got the M33x3.5mm threading on the spindle, which seems like a bit of a dead standard.

How difficult is it to deal with this thread? I believe...

Thanks for the review. I came close to buying one of that where they were recently discounted by 10% at woodcraft. The only thing that prevented me was my in-built difficulty in spending money...
...

I have a Powermatic 66 that was built in 1968. Mine has the huge cast iron table extension pieces that, when they were last sold, were a rather expensive option (I believe).
Mine had been unused for...

John, Thanks for the reply.
Is the Osprey shown the #1? And the other tools the "Carbide Woodturning #1 taper" set?

I see the difference in the angle of the cutter in the Osprey, compared with...

This thread hes got me curious. I sharpen my non-carbide tools myself on a wolverine jig, so that generally works ok for me.

I am curious, though, about whether the Hunter style of carbide tool...

If I recall correctly, Cindy Drozda was selling a lathe on Boulder, CO, Craigslist that could probably do such a job. This was maybe 6 months ago? You might try contacting her to see if it sold, and...

Are the bearings shielded or sealed? I thought the "zz" designation meant shielded, but I could be wrong. I expect shielded is probably ok, but if there's casting sand knocking around then maybe it...

Thanks for the replies, all. I am considering the Grizzly G0766, but Grizzly doesn't have a bed extension for outboard turning, and when I asked their tech support about it, they made no mention...

I was looking at one of these beasts in Woodcraft the other day. It looks like it's got the same motor/VFD as the PM 3520B. I quite liked the tool rest clamp on the banjo, and I quite liked the shape...

Right, I agree. My point is that, for outboard turning on this lathe, I'd rather use a RH thread and one of my RH thread chucks on a RH spindle. This requires the motor to run in reverse which it can...

Hello,
Thanks to all who replied. I found out something today from Rikon technical support regarding the left-handed thread on the outboard side of the spindle.
It turns out they are planning to...

I have a chance to buy one of these for $2000, and I'm a bit tempted because people seem to like the Australian Woodfast lathes.

This model is the 20" swing, fixed headstock type, with the motor...
