Had one for 12 months now and have had no problems turning about 100 pens and a couple of small boxes and bowls

Thanks China didn't know that page was there very informative reading. Looks like I have the sanding covered OK but it may have been not dry enough or too big for the Shellawax liquid. I might get a...

Hi I am having trouble with my shellawax finish. It is being applied to a small Mallee Burl box and bowl. It went on great, had three coats and glossed up well. But after 3 days they have gone satin...

So True

Hi I have just started turning, mostly pens but would like to start doing some bowls. Do you have any of the species you mentioned in the 13-15 inch long x 4-6inch thick dry or nearly dry to suit...

Thanks guys just wasn't sure what the best for the lathe was. I have been doing pens and have turned it off each time to check with calipers but thought I might be harming the lathe with so many...

Hi What thread are they and can you get inserts for M30x3.5 if needed, also where do you get jaws for them. Sound like a decent chuck

Thanks Paul but I was just after the size to be able to buy a spare to have in case it broke on me.

Hi was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get the 10 speeds nominated on the MC1100 plaque. It is a new lathe and the manual mentions the 10 speeds but I am unable to select more than 5 as that...

Sorry guys, I have taken it out of plastic and the speed control is there, was looking for it on the top but it is recessed on the side of the topcover. My apologies

Sorry guys but I did buy off Sydney Tools and there isn't a speed control. The manual is for the 622 as well so I presume the speed control is on that model. On other Dewalt routers the control is on...

Thanks for all your response. Ended up getting the Dewalt 621XE, only thing annoyed me after purchase was that it does not have adjustable speed setting just soft start and variable speed in the...

Hi, could any one please advise which of the DW621XE or Bosch GOF1600 would be best for doing mostly rebates, grooves and round over etc. I like the DW621 for its 1/2" and !/4" adapatability but I...

Thanks for your suggestions, I will plan and use KD H/wood
