    Thanks for the advice guys. The wood is dry and it has soaked the oil up good. I think I will go with Gary's suggestion and wait a couple of days. I want to be able to use it for food, but at the...

    The compressed air sounds like a winner. I can just blow it out ever time I finish a project and clean up the lathe. Good idea.

    Mike, I bought me a second switch when I ordered the switch. I guess the dust problem you're talking about is in the switch and not in the connections. So for $4.50 I can replace the actual switch....

    I got it done. I ended up getting a box from Lowe's and ordering me an on/off switch from Grizzly. I spent about $25, but it looks and works like the real thing. Thanks to all that took the time...

    Faust,

    Thanks for the info. It sounds like I may want to stay away from the PM switches. The motor on my PM lathe started making noise before I had it a year. They sent me a new motor right...
  11. PM 3520B Remote on/off switch purchase or not?

    Bob, I live out in the country about 10 miles from the nearest town. I'm hoping they will bring it out there and set it on the pad in front of my garage. I'll need to ask them a few more questions...

    Power Stepup

    I have a woodturners meeting Tuesday night. I'll find out what kind of stepup they have on the lathes there. And maybe I can find out what they cost.
