Who was the Chinese supplier please

I this case 6" radius. To clarify, the issue is NOT as bad if I am cutting free hand

I have an inexpensive bandsaw but does the job for me. Problem is when using my homemade circle cutting jig. Basically a false table with holes drilled 1" apart. Drill hole in wood, insert pop rivet...

Thank you - Cant get the handwheel off (scared to bang too hard) but nothing stopping me from taking the whole tailstock. I'll give them a try on Monday

Yes I know I have had a screw loose for years but now its gone. On the tail stock of my 1995 Jet 1236 lathe, the screw that locks the handle to the tailstock has disappeared. As a result, the...

Not really sure of the names of the new finishes being promoted on English turning sites and You Tube but intrigued by what the difference between them and EEE Ultrashine is if anyone knows

Is this a stupid idea - using a hacksaw while lathe turning to part off

I have one of these at the holiday place. Couldn't get anything to fit including 3/4 inch 16 tpi spindle thread. Turned out to be an M18 and I got suitable nuts to make my own faceplates from the...

PS probably a bit late to ask but anything you need from here that I can bring over from Oz - and that I can get delivered to a small town in less than a week (not limiting things of course :-)...

Jonzjob- Where near Carcassonne? I am just about (week after next) to go to my other house in Trebes, 10 minutes from Carcassonne. Would love to meet up with an English speaking turner(to be honest...

My first experience was actually solder, superglued into a groove turned into the edge of a lid for a coffee jar. Went alright

I have no relationship to Ubeaut but credit where credit is due. I bought their EEE and one of their finishing creams over 10 years ago. Soon after, I went to work in Africa and came a little while...

I would like to experiment with inserts of metal into turned objects. Let me try to be a but clearer: I picture the idea of cutting a piece of wood into 3 vertical pieces, inserting say aluminium...

Dummies question. I have never really understood the concept of wet and dry sanding but assumed one was just sanding and the other sanding with the oil or whatever was your protectant soaked into...

Thanks everyone for the responses. Sounds like I am applying the sanding sealer too early in the cycle and probably not letting dry properly. How long would you normally allow to dry (and at least...

Wasnt sure if this went here or wood turning so ill try here.
I am fairly new to this and my current process on wood turning is to get items as smooth as possible off the tool then coat with sanding...

Stevo, the market question was 1/2" bowls before that, so some progress is being made

Nubsnstubs: You may want to have a look at your friends criteria if you need 1" nose plugs for them

I had heard this term for many years and have finally come to realise what it means, at least in my case.
Basically, I need to continue to turn my "creations" until all evidence of catches and other...

I have a large piece of very spalted wood (type of wood unknown) that I have turned into a ball shape approx 12" in diameter. I spent two days soaking it with white glue diluted 50.50 with water but...

What was the size /pitch of the nut that fitted (probably using wrong term but looking for a fitting for same lathe and despite great help from a guy on here,we arent there yet

Someone asked for a picture. Its the longer piece with the 4lt oil can shown for scale378425

Anyone ever turned this.Looking for drying advice . Plus am I just wasting my time ?

Sorry KBs , had some urgent family issues to deal with so have been delayed in getting photos. Really appreciate the help and hope that I can get them tomorrow

Thanks for all the advice/links. The idea of a "sticky" is a good one as I see this video referred to a lot.
However, central to the whole process is an assumption that the wheels will be as set by...

Just getting used to my (new to me) bandsaw. Its a tooltek (basically a relative cheapy but does most things this beginner wants). Just put a 1/2" 3tpi blade on it and think I have tension and...

Monday certainly was a great day- thank you Paul, Margaret and Richard. Only problem is that its going to cost me a fortune. I now have some tools sharpened by THE Richard Raffan, so obviously cant...

what would you put over top for durability

Just found a source of free beeswax. What should I mix this with and what ratios for wood turning finish. Also any finish undernaeth or on top recommended or warned off

Thanks - it just feels wrong - too high (and I am fairly tall) and unsupported

Yep did that - all safety instructions or wheel replacements, nothing useful on actual usage

Thats actually where I copied the picture from (apart from name, it seems identical to mine- presumably all manufactured in same factory in China). I could not find any instructions on the site

Nope , no swingdown- screwed very solidly in place (but thanks)

You know what I mean, those things you use to tighten or loosen a chuck onto the headstock and in the case of the Vicmarc 90, open and close the jaws. I was always worried about losing them as I...

One of the earlier people was correct that Record no longer reply to questions about old lathes. I do have a manual (PDF) if it would help anyone

Found this cleaning out a cupboard- obviously bought some years ago and never used.
Dumb question. I assume the white wheel (runs about half the speed of the rey one) is used wet and the trough...

1 Wear your masks- had a piece of wood let go at fairly high speed on Saturday, bounce off my light and clip me on the arm on the way past. Did not break the bone but it was a near thing and doctor...

I see many lathes have a gap in the beds at the tailstock end. Makes sense if the idea is to allow for larger bowls(for example) still supported by tailstock but almost invariably the gap is too...

Just used Ubeaut EEE on an unknown piece of wood and its beautiful, especially since the Ubeaut EEE was in the shed the whole time I was away. Is Tung Oil a good finish on top for durability and...

useful and thank you - but not for this issue

Thanks all but no equivalent mechanism on the tail stock and tail stock does not have a through hole on my model. Not sure of age but it is a Coronet CL3 not a Record if that makes any difference

Exactly what happened !!!- hence the question. I assume it would be a bad thing to glue the taper into the chuck ??

I have only used the new jacob chuck with MT1 once and was able to get the chuck off the MT (accidentally) but had trouble getting the MT out of the tailstock. Obviously they make the jacobs...

Not sure I am understanding correctly. Do you mean a wooden slotted version of an MT 1 to MT2 adaptor type thingy. I do have an MT2 jacobs chuck (Coronet is an MT1) and could use the adaptor and...

I have a Coronet CL3 which (took me a while to find out) has no through hole (dont know the right term) for either the headstock or tailstock. ie I cannot use a bar to tap out MT fittings like...

I see many sites selling metal carbide turning tools, presumably for metal lathes but enormously cheaper than wood turning carbide tools. What stops use of the metal ones in wood turning - too short...

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I could buy an adapter to put on my woodfast 30 x 3.5mm spindle and enable it to accept my Coronet chucks etc -3/4" x 16 tpi
TIA
Steve

Looking for advice on adding handles to rolling pin cylinder so the handles (made of different wood) can safely rotate. I am having trouble picturing the connector

When I got back, I heard everyone raving about reverse rake scrapers and as they sounded easy to make from ordinary scrapers, went for it. Total disaster- wouldnt scrape anything and so I temporarily...
