(Newbie) question on head stock mountings
Hi to all , first post here and rather new at turning. I have been playing with my old new toy (wood lathe) for a few weeks and really enjoying it.
been turning a few bits of oregon and pine and some vic ash, just spindle work with the tail stock supporting.As i have only one small central screw faceplate,I am noticing that the timbers (all the above) are destroying the thread inside the timber on the head stock side after a while to the point where the timber is stalling.
I have a 1 inch spindle with 8 tpi thread just wondering what im doing wrong and if there are any cheap second hand faceplates and or chucks around i can purchase. Most of all some advise please
