Is power to the lathe through a GFI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) ? Inverters don’t play well with GFIs. Try another circuit for power. If you get a display, look at the back of the Delta S-1,...

I’d ask Lyle,

I use “Lenox” blades, 3TPI from bandsawbladesdirect . They last for a long time!

The phrase that comes to mind “you can make small things on a large lathe but can’t make large things on a small lathe” seems to apply here. I have a full size Jet 1642 that I use to make small boxes...
Search for “small decorative birds” or “decorative birds for crafts”. They can be found on Amazon, Hobby Lobby and others.

Try here for “Cubitron” products:...

I think any type of vacuum pump benefits when any source of wood dust could be ingested.
The Gast pumps discussed in this thread are dry vane oil less pumps.
I have an auto fuel filter attached to my bleed valve.

I use a 20 gauge brass bore brush.
