I replaced spindle and bearings in my go733 acouple of months agp. Lucky for me, my son in law is a machinest for a living. He knew just what to do. Turn a spindle to drive it out from the back and...
The bad is that my super nova lamp crapped out way early. The good is that I bough it from Ken Rizza at Woodturnes Wonders. He stands firmly behind what he sells. Replaced it with no problems. Buy...
Great post. Welcome to the "Vortex".
My first was on a Shopsmith. I didn't have a chuck so used the faceplate and a glue block. Didn't have any bowl tools either so I used the spindle gouge. It came unglued at 800 rpms, hit the floor...
John Lail posted above that he doesn't use a ferrule at all. I'm about to make my first one and wonderd about this. I'm sure someone here has tried it. They look cool but are they necessary?

The pot for my lathe is 10k. Not sure if it's the same for the go766.

Potentiometer. Have replaced mine twice. Both times it started that way. Then when starting to turn the speed up it would immediately go to 933 rpms. Grizzly sent one, slow mail of course. I was...
Yessir, that sounds a high. I have the 16 inch Big Easy cole jaws from Easy Tools and have not had it over 400 rpms on my Grizzly GO733. Have never worn a face shield while using it. That might now...
Hello guys. 1st post. Thanks Jeff for sharing your experience. Again, good that you are ok. You mentioned cole jaws and I, being a user of them also, wonder what speed you were operating at and...
