I'll be visiting southwestern Missoui latter this week and am always on the lookout for sources of turning wood, especially of species we don't readily have available in western Texas. On the...
It's commonly reported that the Jet 1014 VS has less power at the lower speeds than the standard 1014. With the 1014 having only 1/2 hp this apparently can make a noticeable difference with some...
What part of the country is it in? I Googled for a Vega 1200 lathe but didn't find anything. There are references to the Vega 1500 and 2400. Can you get more information on the lathe or even some...
I'm another jet mini owner dreaming about moving up, so I got my yard work this morning done in time to watch the end of the auction. I tried to jump in about ten minutes before the listed end of...
Byron, I sent you a private message.
We just returned from a vacation that included a portion of western N. Carolina south of Asheville. Along the way I heard about the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC that includes...
Absolutely beautiful work. I really like the wide variety of forms that you gave them.
Patrick, I had the same thing happen to my Jet mini about six weeks ago. I posted a message here on the forum and got several good suggestions. What I ended up doing was taking my stripped Jet bolt...
Belinda. we plan to take our family vacation to Savannah in June. Hopefully we won't see any weather too exciting while we are there.
Beautiful! Love the color, shape and accent of the inlace. It should be a real conversation piece.
When you are inlaying in a continuous ring, how do you hold the inlay material and the glue...
I particularly like the cherry box. I too enjoy doing boxes and appreciate seeing other's work to get ideas on shape and balance. I would have been more than proud to have done any of these.
I have the Pinnacle chuck from Woodcraft and for the price I think it does a very good job on the smaller bowls I do on my Jet mini. If you plan to do bowls larger than about 8 inches in diameter,...
I just bought the Beal on-lathe system over the weekend. The instructions that came with it don't go into much detail. For example, what speed do you typically use while you're buffing? Do you use...
Steve, if you are interested in P & N tools, you might try Rich Johnson at latheart@pacbell.net. I bought my P & N 12 MM gouge from him.
I have the Nova midi which I use with my Jet mini 1014. At the time I bought it, it was on sale at Woodcraft so it was less than half the price of the G3 so I figured I could get by with using the...
Randy, Larry is correct on the tailstock nut. It cost me $10 for the machine shop to redo the bolt.
The stand looks great. You are the first I've noticed on SMC that mentioned they have the new Jet 1220. Have you used it yet? I'm sure a number of us would be interested in your review of the lathe.
Followup to Jet Mini Tailstock Problem
A couple of weeks ago I posted a message regarding stripping the threads on the bolt holding down the tailstock on my Jet mini 1014. Jet is seriously backordered on these bolts but, thanks to...
After sending the above message I realized I should have included a bluebonnet picture I took earlier today here in Abilene.

Gorgeous! Our bluebonnets are half covered with snow today.
WOW, Bill! You manage to do all of those complicated, but beautiful, segmented pieces in such a small space?
Thanks for the suggestions. This experience has been frustrating, but now that I have some ideas to follow up on maybe there are solutions. I will visit with a local welder to see if he can weld a...
The threads on the bolt that clamps down the tailstock on my Jet mini 1014, which I have had only three months, have stripped. When I called the company I was first told the part was on back order...
Yep, great hawl. Probably just the size to try on that new Robust you have on order. I too am really inpressed by both your inventory of blanks and your organization of them, as well as the really...
