Hi Jamie

If the #1 jaws you are talking about are the ones for the tallon chuck then I think perhaps that is the main reason for your problems with the chuck or tenon not holding.

They are...

turners who do not start their bowls between centres.

As Mike said it gives you the opportunity to balance and more importantly to change the orientation to maximise or centre the grain features...

Allen:
It started as a three branch crotch piece turnned end grain and it was a bit scary at times figuring how to approach it with the gouge. Small bites with a lot of caution. It does look...

Hi
A couple of pics of some use I make of my wood stuff.

Denis

I have never posted pics here so hope it works out ok???

with various types of media and have given up on it as a replacement for sanding.
It does do what I would call a ( half **ssed ) job of smoothing the surface but not even close to a sanded finish.

Hi
Would acetone work as the a substitute for the DNA in your epoxy cocktail's???

In coldish weather it is possible to have a belt set to the curvature of a pulley to some extent .
But almost as soon as you start that machine it will disappear.

When you start a piece of farm...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes the link style belting will work very nicely for your lathe.

Denis

I think that the link belts may be too hard or firm to work well with reeves drives. It does work very well on my General EVS.

I used to have a reeves drive lathe and though the belt at times...

I had a gouge that broke (shattered) into three pieces for no apparent reason.
Never did find the sharpen end but did find the other two pieces so who knows what happen when it broke.
It did...

Electronic VS opens a whole new world of enjoyment.

You need a much larger foot print then a pail.

I have a home built three legged one that weighs in at over one hundred pounds that is quite stable.

The primary construction is 2 inch solid...

If it is designed to drive a fan with the air moving over it then forget about it!!!!
Get the proper motor and save yourself some headache and money in the long run.

David: perhaps you should try to order a face shield from

And let us know if they realy do stock the parts.

Hi
When as a newbie I got my first chuck and I tried using the worm Screw thingy and did not like it and switched to mounting between centers with a Spur drive, rough turn the shape and make...

I believe Acetone is an aceptable (Preferred ??? ) thining agent for epoxy.

Hi
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here a picture of my three bowl gouge grinds.

No. 1 is for the transition and across the bottom on deep bowls.

No 2 handles the same as no....

Hi
If they are bent my best guess as to rest of the body would be that it will be ok.
In any event I can not see it as mistake to order new jaws, the tallon has a good reputation and doubt you...

Hi
I suppose it is possible but I have a Talon chuck and I find hard to visualize being able to bend a jaw or damage the rest of the chuck when using it hold a piece of wood.

I have a lathe with...

Hi
I see an advantage of putting the price tags on the bottom of the piece to encourage the customer to pick up and feel it.

But!!!!!!!!.

I also see it as a huge problem when you as a...

Hi
I can still remember being real proud that first pile of shavings, a real thrill.

I see from your pictures that have your tool rest mounted on the banjo extension. Most lathes allow you to...

Hi
I have a couple of sheds have full of many forms and shapes drying and dry. It would take a couple of years to finish them all, heaven forbid that I have to do such a thing as turning the green...

If it is literally hard as real rock then it is not normal.
But it is quite hard and I also doubted it's ability to have the friction needed to drive and not slip, but no problems after a couple of...

I have a newer type General lathe and when the original belt streched I replaced the belt with a link belt, works great and is easy to install and to shorten if and when it stretches.

Bruce , When sanding the outside with hand held paper I find it much more convenient and probably safer to sand with the top of the work piece rotating away from me. On the inside of the piece I find...
