    I was happy with my Laguna 14|12 and put hundreds of feet of very hard woods thru it at capacity and never had a problem.

    Yes I'm sure that was a significant part of the failure. The bottom of the bowl was considerably thinner than I'd expected and the main break happened about 3/4" off the center of the recess.

    Thanks for the comments, concerns and questions everyone.. much appreciated.

    You're all absolutely right for the most part. I did many things wrong, made many mistakes and got caught. Fortunately...

    Thanks JKJ, I know I certainly need periodic reminders. I find myself slowly getting more and more comfortable doing things that might not be completely safe but I've gotten away with in the past...

    Not end grain unless I misunderstand your meaning and yes there was a recessed dovetail for the chuck.

    Thanks John. Yeah I noticed those cracks when I gathered the pieces afterwards.. they weren't there as far as the wife or I could see prior to it coming apart. Now the whole piece of wood is coming...

    It was mounted by a dovetail recess on my SuperNova2. Not sure the exact speed but somewhere in the 1800-2000 range I suspect. I was bringing the speed up to put a little wax on it and hadn't touched...

    #1 looks really similar to a lot of the Mango that I've used in the past.. the grain and the tone both match.

    Yeah that was the first thing I noticed and having lived in some 3rd world places have dealt with it myself. I'd guess that the doors are more functional/practical than to spruce up the looks of his...

    I went from a Hobart 140 to a Lincoln 180 and now have the Miller 211 and while they're all great machines (the Hobart too) the 211 is worth the extra money IMO. It's got all the features you could...
