Robo,

John, would you care to share where you purchase your acrylic stock? Is it a solid tube? Thanks.
I agree with Dave on the "Black Hole". Have had mine for 2 years and it works well.
I have a Nova 3000 that I upgraded to 2 HP and a VFD about 4 or 5 years ago. I purchased both motor and VFD from https://dealerselectric.com/. Got the whole thing done for under $300.00. I am happy...
I have turned a considerable amount of Red Elm. It is a very soft wood without being punky. My sugestion is similar to the above. I used a mixture of laquer and laquer thinner 50/50 thruout the...
Bernie, there is absolutely nothing wrong with every project requiring a new tool...some projects may even require more than 1 new tool! Yay!
Is there any way you can have the whole trunk delivered to you and not cut it up? If so, put it on the 2 x 4's you talk about, paint the ends and cover it and let it sit until your shoulder is...
I purchased a bottle from Mark Silay about 6 months ago. He is good to work with.
Laquer + Laquer Thinner, mix 50/50, re-apply as needed. Works well.
Very Nice. What material is that brush made from? Thanks, Ron
Beautiful!
It has been awhile since I have used my monster system, but...
1. I think you are getting the dust because your cutter is too high
2. I'm pretty sure I don't allow my cutter to extend as far away...
Awesome! Thanks.
I am pretty sure the switch on my Trend AirShield Pro is bad. I find the switch from Trend in the U.K. on their website (not cheap). I have not found the switch in the USA. Does anyone know of a...
Thank you, I will have to give this a try.
Ed, I really like what you have done to your rims. Are the rims completely epoxy or have you laid he epoxy over the top of a wooden rim? Do you care to share how you did these epoxy rims. Thanks!
Roger,
Sounds like it could be a solution for a bowl "that you can't wait to re-turn". I typically rough turn, anchor seal and record the weight periodically and re-turn one to two years or more...
I have had mine since they first came out. Like it a lot. I use it on small things and large rough outs up to 15 inches. I suspect I put too much pressure on it. When I ease up on the pressure...
I have the same problem. Curious, have you tried Nova support?
Yes, the cutters I am talking about are like cups...made by Hunter.
I have used lacquer thinned with lacquer thinner with success. I have also used Minwax wood hardener with success. Both options smell bad. Do it in a well ventilated space. More than likely you...
Kevin, I did the same thing about two years ago, only with the an "older" Nova lathe. Been very happy with it so far. I have been looking for a switch that plugs into a 220 outlet. Can you tell me...
Just wanted to clear up some self-inflicted confusion. The unit that I am interested in would be mounted to a wall 5 feet or less from my lathe. The dust collection point would be as close as...
I have a air filtration unit and am happy with it.
I want to supplement it with a dust collector that will be totally dedicated to collecting sanding dust off my lathe. I like Powermatic's PMDCV-C...
Very nice. Lots of "character"!
How do you grind up the bark? How fine do you grind it?
