    Default the down side to second hand machines

    my old Hyco started making a horrible noise, on inspection of the noise someone had put a nail in the keyway of the motor shaft and pulley. it was a relative easy fix as my mate had some keyway steel and an hour of cleaning up the slots on the pulley and motor shaft! I'm now back to turning conditions. I have had the lathe for 3 years and it's done a fair bit of work. 140 balusters, 80 lace bobins, 30 drop spindles and the list goes on and on!still happy with the purchase

    Why did you allow someone to come into your shed and do that?

    Every woodturner should have a tame metal worker or engineer.

    I thought that's why we have a forum. Help the metal workers out with a wooden project and they help the wood workers out with some metal work.

    Let's give it a name pass it forward, or has that already been taken?
