Jeff - I have one of the Chefware Kits jigs that I don't use. I would be willing to sell it if you are interested.
Thanks for the replies. I bought a Thompson.
Does anyone other than Carter & Sons make a tool handle that will accept a 3/4" tang? I could make a wooden handle, but I want to know what my options are with ready-made metal handles.
Wade - What happens when you make a dust cloud in the shop? Use the table saw or miter saw with DC turned off? What does it read then?
LOL. How long have you had it?
I always wear a dust mask and always have the DC on when I’m at my Robust lathe - even if I’m not sanding. As there is no sanding at a RE lathe, and as exotics are oily and (I think) less prone to...
I'd like to have an idea of what is floating in the air around my head while I am standing at my Rose Engine. I have a 3 hp Oneida collector and a JDS filter in the shop. I can position the dust...
I was considering this one.

But the common adage is that it's the dust that you can't see that can harm you.
Anyone use an air particulate meter to detect the effectiveness of their shop's dust collection/filtration efforts?
If so, which one do you use/recommend?
I'm considering a purchase but thought...
Fred - The height of the Proxxon comes in at very close to 1.8". The stack of rotary table, wooden platform, slide and indexer comes in at about 7.5". Your 16" swing would be a very tight fit. You...
Yeah. Well, I hope you never get into ornamental turning. :D

I bought a 2” MT2 boring head from Little Machine Shop with 1/2” cutter openings. I bought a reducer sleeve from McMaster allowing me to use 1/4” carbide cutters. My cutters are made by Micro 100...
Dennis - It's actually just a hobbyist-level cross slide made by Proxxon. Here's the link on Amazon. Thus far, it would seem to meet my needs but I don't have lots of time in this yet. I tightened...
I know carbide is brittle and very hard but is there a way a woodworker with typical tools could cut a 1/4" diameter solid carbide tool like the one pictured below in half? What would happen if I...
Please do! I'll send you my cell #.
Thanks, Marvin. I appreciate your willingness to help!
Over the last week or so, I have made a couple of inquiries on this forum hoping to find some kind of ornamental turning device that can be placed and used on a woodturning lathe. I was intrigued by...
Which is exactly what I am using.
I may give the Corian a try as I have been unable to find African Blackwood dimensioned in a way that would yield something close to 2.5" -
3" in diameter x...
Here's a photo of a box I turned last night. This was my first attempt at using this device. I think I'll start a new thread in the next few days with some pics of the device in case anyone is...
Thanks, John. Actually, I have just completed putting together a DYI ornamental (non Rose Engine) turning device and I was thinking the Corian lid insert might look good with some ornamental,...
I am thinking about acquiring some black solid surface material for use as inserts for turned box lids. I have no experience working or turning this material. Once the piece has been turned, sanded...
Yeah, aluminum would have been my first choice but I lack any tools designed for metal working. The only way I could cut the aluminum plate to the desired size is to take it to the table saw. I...
