I used the Holdfast system for many years and it performed very well-never lost a piece!
3 cfm may be a little low for the holdfast. I ran mine with a 6cfm and it would cycle on quite often probably...
Just a suggestion.
I would recommend the Sorby pro edge belt sharpening system in lieu of the Tormek.
Especially if your new to sharpening lathe chisels.The pro edge is a dream to sharpen, fast to...
Bill I understand your "Pain in the butt, takes to long, etc." feeling, but for a long lasting good looking satin finish,I have to say a little more time finishing pays dividends.
I have had great...
I will add my two cents regarding the Harvey 24/36 lathe. I purchased the pretty much identical Lathe with the Laguna nameplate attached. Grizzly also carried the same lathe for awhile called the...
I usually just leave it on unless I'm not going to be in the shop for a couple of days.
Also I have to remember to drain the air tank at least once a week. Depending where you live and the time of...
Great idea to have your DC and air compressor in a separate room. Both can be annoying noise wise.
The simplest solution for me was to purchase a 50 ft.(or what ever length you require) decent...
Lots of great advice here.
Just my 2 cents. I started out just like you smaller lathe etc. I bought the Woodriver set from Woodcraft. It served me well and then added higher grade tools as I gained...
Ah yes been there done that!
Congratulations! That has always been my dream lathe. Enjoy and I'll be looking for a review when it arrives!
Also good instructions come with crush grind kits from Craft Supplies.
I have to agree with Roger on the GO-800. I owned the equivalent lathe from Laguna the 2436. Awesome power and mass. No complaints.
My only wish is that it had a better banjo.
The fit and finish of...

Hello I have met you at your woodturning club a few years ago.
we have recently moved to La Pine.
Hope to...
I am Carl and want to say Roger is spot on. Great heavy duty lathe and great value for the $$, even with the ridiculous tariffs.
I have a whole shop full of tools, just easier to sell by auction as we have already moved. Will be a sad day however.
It will be held in Coshocton ohio.
You will never regret purchasing a 24" swing lathe. I own the previous generation Laguna 24-36 lathe with 24" bed extension and swing away, which is comparable to the Grizzly G-800. Wonderful lathe....
A Longworth chuck is handy but even better is a vacuum chuck.You'll wonder how you got along without one.
Jed, I believe any of the band saws you have mentioned would be fine for cutting bowl blanks.
I use a Powermatic 14" with riser. It is only rated at 1/3/4 hp, but power has never been an issue....
Yes Jeff the Sorby system is definitely pricy especially if you already have a sharpening system that you are satisfied with. I was sharpening with a conventional grinder with white wheels and Jet...
I'm surprised that you are having any trouble with the Sorby Pro Edge. I've been using mine for three years and absolutely would never use anything else, having used a conventional grinder and a Jet...
I have to agree with Perry. Shine juice is just the perfect shine, not to glossy, but not dull either. I find it lasts much longer than Mylands or other friction polishes I have used. I've made lots...
I will vouch for a great event. Extremely well done. I have attended the last 5 years and enjoyed each one.( got to meet you there last year John)
Alas we are moving to Oregon so won't be able to...
Wow, Congratulations! Your going to love the lathe. I don't think you'll ever regret buying the 2436 plus you got an exceptionally good deal.
I have turned on the older version of the Revo 2436 and am totally satisfied. From what I have seen the new version has been improved in several ways. The remote switch, improved banjo, and an...
