Spindle thread cover/protector
At the moment I'm using a Woodfast midi which unlike my old large Woodfast has no thread protector. Does anyone know where one can be obtained at a reasonable price (30x3.5mm). Woodfast do sell them and I may have to go that way but $50, which does include postage, seems a bit excessive. Can anyone think of a cheaper supplier or alternative?
Cheers,
Jim

Bore a hole a bit less than 30mm in the end grain of a bit of softwood about 50mm then screw it on to the thread. Even better if you have an M30x3.5 tap ,available from mcjings.Usefull for making special chucks too.

If you want to come down here, I can give you a very large 35mm nut to put on.

or just be real careful when turning! one of our old lathes had a nice skew scar in the thread, it didn't affect putting the Chuck on!

Jimbur,
When you get the nut, make a hole a tiny bit smaller than the points of the nut in a nice piece of hard 20mm timber and epoxy the nut in it. Put the timber on a flat piece of plywood with a bit of wax paper or plastic on top and drive the nut down so it is flush on the bottom, then drizzle in epoxy and a bit of sawdust and pack in, then more epoxy and sawdust.
Let set overnight and thread on the spindle and turn a nice hand wheel to suit.So much timber, so little time.
Paul
