    I'm looking for a larger bowl roughing gouge, preferably 3/4" or larger in an M42 steel.

    Anyone have one they love?

    Thanks!

    Thats cool. If you have the built info and are willing to share, I may give that a try. I can do some fab.

    No, I talked to them, but they said it'd be 8+ weeks before they could get me that LH insert.

    Craft Supplies had everything at a good price and Ron got me some good info and even dug thru their...

    Thanks all. I went with a Vicmarc after talking to one of their tech people. They put me in touch with a stateside supplier who had both a 1 1/4x8 insert and 1 1/8x8 Left Hand insert (amazingly!).
  7. Full Sized Articulated Hollowing System recommendations, please.

    I've been using the Mini Monster Hollowing System for years with my smaller lathe and love it. Now, I need a full sized system for my big General 26020 lathe.

    Monster is no longer in business, so...

    I see the Vicmarc 120 comes in direct thread and insert versions. You can get the direct thread in 1 1/4x8, which is the inboard size of my lathe.

    Will...

    I also have 180 and 600 wheels. Great combo from Ken.
    Also, I have Reed's RoboRest setup. I may have been one of his first customers for that. Very handy rest. Well built and easy to use.

    Yeah. And I can use the VFD to reverse rotation also, so a lockdown is probably a good idea.

    Someone did recommend the Vicmark 120 to me. I'll look up the 150 info.

    Sorry, I forgot that info.

    The goal is working up to a platter at 28-32" and up from there as i get accustomed to doing them. Eventually, 48" if all goes well. Also, some large vases from logs.

  12. Recommend a large chuck for some big platters?

    Hi all,
    I've been turning for several years now, but never anything larger than about 16" diameter bowls on my own lathes, and never needed to purchase a big chuck for my own use. Time to up the...

    I've had the LV waterstone pond for a couple years and find it works pretty well. The holders work as designed, as long as you use that side ledge instead of just the bar and cam. The instructions...

    Ditto. I got lucky. Local auction had a retoother and setter, both mounted to the same stand. I got them both, and several boxes of vintage Nicholson and K&F files, all for $70. I already have the...

    Malcolm, it appears that it sold already. That was quick. Apparently, some folks value them in that condition.

    Yeah, the production of this thread is pretty crappy, in my opinion. I'll have to beat myself up about that a bit.
