Thanks Brian, I'm off to get my new lathe. I've done enough reading here to know what i'm in for as far as spending money!:D But I'm looking forward to hours of fun. I'm not familiar with the term...

Good stuff and I don't mean to threadjack but this is such an old thread I hope the OP doesn't mind. I'm a total newbie to turning and plan to start making some sticks tomorrow (after I pick up my...

Herein lies my problem! $50 is a chunk of change for a bit that I probably wont be satisfied with. I need a nice clean shallow hole and the steelex bit is probably a good plumbers tool for hawging a...

Hey thanks for all the advice! I have to do a bunch of these but they will be rather shallow holes in hardwood, I think I'll go with Rod's advice with the template and will be trying to rig that up...

Thanks George,
didn't know that. Looked online and it seems pretty similar, my local store has one on display too so I'll bring my part down and compare. Hopefuly it won't ship out on the slow boat...

First of all i've got a reliant dd90, I know most think it's a POS machine but it has always done what I need it to. with a lot of tweaking... So i'm setting up to resaw some nice curly maple I've...
