Great looking job Philip, I have been asked a couple of times to make ordinary rectangular variety, but I have put it on my
to do list. How in heavens name did you get the peg holes an equal...

My guess is 189.

Darren the easiest way would be to change the drive sheave on the motor to a smaller diameter sheave. Don't forget you will then be required to change the
V belt to a shorter length one. Good Luck

I could be wrong but I don't think those pieces go with that lathe or even lathe related. I once owned a lathe similar to that and it was manufactured by Walker Turner, seems to me it was called the...

I for one would certainly put it to use, as they say you should
never sell something you win because if you do you will never
win anything in the future.

Bernie what did you do to deserve this, you certainly got dumped on BIG TIME. That looks like more snow that we had all winter. The thing is that the sun is getting higher each day and the stuff...

I have worked with a fair amout of different kinds of spalted wood and have had good luck at sealing the end grain only. Then again if the timber has been down a fair amount of time it may be a...

Drum switch is what you want, don't forget the switch has to switch a fair amount of current. Don't use one of those little dinky dpdt toggle switches as it will never last and it would have to be...

I could only watch it for 5 minutes, made me sick, this fellow certainly should have his head read. If he doesn't get a chance to experience the ER at the local hospital it certainly will be a...

Thanks to one and all for the information on the flat rate boxes for shipping TURNING SQUARES. Not sure how the moderator determined this was off topic as IT IS RELATING TO WOOD TURNING, however you...

Can anyone refer me to the site where the USA post office give the dimensions of the various boxes. I have heard others speak of them, if you can get the article (in this case turning squares) into a...

I have one Ragdoll cat and thankfully stays clear of me when I'm turning in my basement workshop. He has never used the lathe sawdust or chips as a litter box. I never leave any wood chips or sawdust...

I was all set to ask what kind of wood that is and I see that someone said that it is Oak. I would be pleased to know just how you determined that it is Oak. I even enlarged it here on the screen and...

Chris if I were you I would make one. Obtain a piece on drill rod the necessary length plus an inch or so. Chuck it up in you lathe or a drill press (lathe works best) and drill an 8mm hole about and...

If you are talking about the two screws that hold the taperlock adapter to the chuck, there should be two screws. I can't remember if they are packaged with the chuck or the taperlock adapter. They...

Jack, 1" 8tpi is a standard unified national coarse thread size. You should be able to find them at any heavy truck or heavy equipment dealer or your local Fastenal store. Good Luck...

Thank you eyeryone for all the information, I certainly appreciate it...

Thanks for the comments so far. Bernie, you make me feel bad $22.00 and I thought the klingspor was a bargain. I have been using a 18 volt Dewalt for the last three years and it seems to be getting...

Does anyone have any information, perhaps a users report they would be willing to share on the following. Klingspors has a right angle drill much like the Sioux or Milwaukee on sale with three vilcro...

I would think that Fastenal would have them or bring them in for you and they no doubt would be less cost that the other business mentioned.

Take the bearing to a bearing shop in you area they will measue the bearing or if there is a manufactures number on the bearing they will cross that number in their master cross list and supply you...

Jacques Coulombe Turning Supplies, located in Montreal is a Vicmarc dealer, just Google his name and his link will come up. Good luck.

Rick, I'm not familiar with the Shop Fox lathe but sounds like it uses a Reeves Drive to change the speed. I take it that the Reeves Drive is belt driven by a V belt from the electric motor, if that...

Tom, I shall get that off to you this afternoon, Iam on the fly here this morning.

Tom, October 2008 issue of Wood magazine had a great four page article on grinding the bowl gouge with the grind that you are looking for. Let me know if you can't get your hands on the October issue...
