I have the Oneway banjo on my Grizzly. Now that was an improvement. More reach, smoother and better quality. The price for the whole lathe was not an option. :)

Glen, how has the ornamental journey gone? I am curious if your JaHo clone ever left your shop?

Dayum! I'm going to call the shop police due to using a massive rig to turn that tiny piece! ;)

Wow! Now that is impressive.

Wow, what a gorgeous piece of wood. Nice presentation in your piece.

As the OP posted about RZ, I have the RZ M2.5 and also grabbed a M1 junior one for my little ones, as they were on sale from the manufacturer with spare filters. It is a great, lightweight mask. I...

Ouch, I agree, impact required internal surgery more than likely. Hopefully he comes out all right.

High RPMs and sanding, that works more against you, than for you.

Sounds like you are getting great advice. I too received a bad live center, the replacement was much better. I use a oneway live center normally, love it, and also have a live jacobs chuck too.

That is awesome. And thanks for the reminder, I think I need to exchange the adaptor in my HTC100 yet, can't remember. I was so impressed with the 100, I bought a HTC125 last fall and...

Beautiful pieces. Maybe set up an end or the middle of the table, with utilitarian flowing in either direction, to have the artistic pieces. They might not move, but you would be surprised how the...

So very cool, thank you for sharing.

Thanks to this thread reminding me to get over onto their site and order. I have lamps and a CBN wheel from Ken. I gladly jumped in on the sale and added some extras.

I am curious also, as I have his roborest for the grinder. His site still states "coming soon"

Maybe he can give us a sneak peak, if it does not break forum rules.

Agree on how tough sanding can be. I try to avoid it now, especially with those course grits. One tip, keep trying techniques so that you can start sanding with 220 (or up) instead. Sometimes, it...

Very well done. My wife wants me to get into these, as she loves segmented work.
I turned already prepped blocks, but the time to make the segmented blocks is what I don't have currently.

Design is also key. The offset of the hardened rod on top to get the support closer to the spinning object on the bowl rests was crucial in my review. I too have a few rests, but recently added 3...

Welcome to the club!

You could also glue up scraps for his testing, and then do a finished piece after he gets the hang of it. Maybe a glue up also, as it would be a touch not seen often.

I figured it would increase, I am surprised it has been so little. With firearms, the manufacturers raise it each year, regardless of what is going on.

Either lathe will net you a considerable upgrade. I think another hit it on the spot, PM is 2" less capacity, heavier beast, shorter bed, easier locking headstock, lower overall height (to turner's...

Kim, Thank you for sharing your proven method with us. Your CGI is awesome and really allows one to see what is going on, and how everything aligns. I am excited to try these out also, now.

. I do the same. Never even thought to use the skinny end or angled holes. More meat and doesn't fall into the dust, especially when handling the large blanks. I also didn't want to mess up the pin...

I have been very pleased with my Hurricane chucks. I think they are similar to the Vicmarcs. I re-turn items 75% of the time, as I do not have the time to cut-prep-turn-finish. But my disclaimer...

Great question, that reminds me I have a 3/4" Master of his that I wanted to find an adapter to also use it for some 5/8" scrapers and gouges. If I recall correctly, I had the same issue as you,...

Ouch, you should find their customer support to work well with you on this one. It should not have broke, I suspect a fault in the casting (air pocket, stress crack) Fred should contact them again...
