That was certainly my clicking source a few years ago. I have also noticed the clicking from the SuperNova II chucks.

I have been closely involved with a friends acquisition of a G1495 for $500. He's had it about 2 months and is happy with it.
As has been noted the low end speed is somewhat of an issue. He...
John that is definitely a new approach. But there are two basic problems that I have experienced. The first is addressed by your post. The other is the problem with the cap slipping off the shaft....
Steve,
I think black locust is like every species; lots of variation from tree to tree. So take this for what it's worth. I have a bunch of it lying around, but it's all from the same tree. I've...
I find it amazing that this thread pops up again after 4 years. Gotta watch what I say.:)
Since then I have completely sworn off the crush grinds because of all the problems I've had. However I...
Pity the person who got elm for firewood if it has to be split... because it can't be split.
I love it for turning. One of my favorites.
Save the bark for your wood carving friends.
I agree with most of what's already been said, especially the DNA routine. I have turned 5-6 small HF's in the last couple weeks and used DNA process. Not a one of them has had a significant...
Is there a vaccine to prevent it?
I want to know so I can avoid it.
I think it looks great like it is; wood, color, proportions and all. But I would be afraid it would blow over in a slight draft. Maybe stick it to the shelf with some carpet tape?:)
I'm normally a Husky or Stihl fan but someone seems to think I already have too many gas powered chainsaws. So I just paid a whopping $39.99 for a Harbor Freight electric. It was on sale of course...
I have been using Anchorseal for several years on my sawlogs. I buy five gallons at a time from UCC Coatings www.ucccoatings.com. I haven't bought any since Anchorseal2 came to be. My guess is...
My wife would shoot anyone she caught cutting a dogwood tree on our farm. We do have one die occasionally and I'm permitted to harvest the wood from those. Only trouble is the bugs have had first...
Thanks Peter. Those sites are very helpful. Better than others I had found. We have decided to buy a fairly cheap set for now and tackle turning a set later. Too many variables... like not...
I realize this is an old thread but just maybe one of you know where I could find specifications for juggling clubs; like size, weight, type of wood, whatever. I know absolutely nothing about...
I agree with what everyone has already said except I never, repeat never, have my chains sharpened on a powered sharpener. I use my chainsaws constantly on the farm, with my disaster response team,...
Delta donated a 46-460 to our newly formed woodturning club, which just happens to be in the same area as Delta (Jackson TN). We are very pleased with it. Haven't been aware of any over heating...
I think the 1642 is a great lathe for the money. I've really enjoyed mine. One story that may be helpful somewhere down the road... Mine developed a clicking noise a few months ago. Didn't affect...
What you guys are saying about the pitch makes sense. That must be the problem. It was not kiln dried, but it has been in my (usually) heated shop for a couple months and dried more than you might...
Did I do something really dumb spraying poly on this piece of white pine? Four or five days later the knots are still tacky. The rest seems okay, but not the knots.
I picked up some white pine...
What da'ya mean "Ho Hum"?
Never anything ho hum about a beautiful spalted maple bowl.
Well, we sawed those logs last night and my friend left here with more lumber than he should have had in the back of an old pickup truck. We sawed it 5/4, and 6/4 plus a couple 4 x 4's. I'd say...

Thanks for all the good advice folks. I'm always pleased at how helpful woodworker/woodturners are. Between this and another forum I now count 14 serious suggestions. That's not counting those who...
