thanks rodger, ill be drilling it out this weekend
any of you have recommendations for tool rests? I will be drilling out to 1" for the post, that'll mean new rests all around.
Ive got a grizzly g0632 it came with a standard 12" tool rest with a 25mm post. I'm looking to add a shorter rest like possibly a 6",post but I cant find any that are 25mm posts? I have a left over...
When makeing shot glasses do you calculate the volume to hold an ounce, or just wing it and make it look/ feel right?
i have the exact setup your thinking about, DONT DO IT. you get what you pay for. its under powered, needs replacement guides,bearings,doesnt have a fence, and is typical harbor freight quality.

thanks for all the advise guys, i will check the plain of the lathe next time i make it into the shop.
David-- ive been looking for a variaralbe speed motor to replace the reeves drive ( to be...
i just picked up a new lathe, i upgraded from a HF 10inch to a grizzly 0462. when i got it into position in the shop it was horribly out of level. i add some small furniture leveling feet, but they...
i was thinking of making 2 sleds one setup for 12 segments and 1 setup for 16. if i was to spend a day just cutting segments and adjusting angle to perfection I would end up with perfect segments...
The sled is a mdf wedgie sled i made and set with digital protractor. i clamp rings with large hose clamps and tap wedges as flat as possible before finial tightening.
thank you guys for all the tips. i think i will start of with half circles next time around, for the rings then flatten on the lathe. A fixed sled sure sounds like a good idea too.
AMAZING!! Do you have any pictures of the build process??
how long do you wait between gluing and "facing" rings on lathe? ive never seen a bowl assembled on the lathe, but it makes sense as you can true up any imporfections and keep each plane true to the...
I been turning for about a year and have constant problems with the out come of my segment rings/bowls. I have a segment jig that works just fine but during glue up I always end up with the smallest...
Richard, do you have a picture of your stand? I think I'm going to be upgrading as soon as my tax return shows up. i really like the idea of a mobile stand with some storage, as I too am limited on...
Any other options on a good epoxy? I to have been wanting to build a river table, I was looking at a tinted epoxy with a light blue/turquoise color.
I recently tried the diablo sandnet I think they are called. they are great last twice as long as sheets and work just as well.

I was using a 3/4 3tpi resaw blade. I was shooting for a hex/octagon shape not trying to round off the blanks. I do believe the saw is rated at 3/4 hp ( whatever that means from HF?)
I bought the 14" bandsaw from harbor freight about 6 months ago. Since then I added a 6inch riser block. now I know this isn't a great saw to start with, but mine sure seems week. today I was trying...
have any of you found a cheep mounting plate? ive been looking around and cant seem to find one under 50 bucks
look at amazon. Contigo are great mugs keep coffee hot for hours and have secure lids to avoid spills.
I am what id consider at best a weekend warrior. like everyone of course I'd like have an American beauty in the garage, but finding one of those in the 1000-1200 dollar range would be like hitting...
So whats the problem with Reeve's drives?
I'm looking to upgrade tools, but all i hear is " it reeves drive" and its no good? Why??
Ive just finished turning my first hollow form, its a 12" tall 4-6" diameter vase. I had to turn it in two sections because I don't have a proper hollowing tool, I was forced to use a bowl gouge to...
I ve been eye balling the 0835, it looks like everything a bowl turner would want in a nice compact package. The only downside I could see is if you wanted to turn some really large vessels in the...
