The 55 degree angle drill from Woodturners Wonders is a better choice than the Neiko. It will last a lot longer as it is well made.

Looks to me that she used both a bowl gouge and a spindle gouge in that video.
Thompson Lathe Tools sell to handles that accept 3/4" tangs.
As usual great job, nicely done Chris.

Yes the Thompson is expensive but you get what you pay for. It is my go to to round spindles and it stays sharp forever. I get a great finish off the tool and I will never have a problem of it...
I have this one and it would fit under a bench and is very quiet and will blow chips out of a hollow form. Eagle Silent Series .75-HP 1-Gallon Hot Dog Air Compressor ( about $143). I also have the...
You can turn small stuff say maybe up to 12" on a midi but you can't turn big stuff. On a big lathe you can turn small stuff and big stuff. You can buy a Grizzly or a Laguna but if something goes...
If you want the best SRG get the Thompson and I guarantee you will never wear it out. I used mine for over two years without sharpening and thought that it had to need sharpening. Sharpened it on CBN...
Wes when you say "Giant tool rest" are you referring to the optional Bowl turning tool rest?
Sounds like you have a 3520a and that is not a tachometer in the back. Just what are you asking about installing?
I have seen no difference between sizes of Thompson and D-Way, they fit in my handles.

A quick photo showing the reference tool Chris Ramsey gave me a couple months ago (bottom) and a gouge sharpened with the Vector Grind (Top tool).
I don't particularly agree with a lot said in that link. I suggest you find a turning club where you will find many turners that would allow you to see and perhaps try their lathes. Woodturning is...
I have a Tormek, a grinder with 2 stone wheels, a grinder with 2 1" wide CBN wheels and a grinder with 2 1 1/2" wide CBN wheels. I have the Wolverine system (several), the Sharpfast system, Nova...
I use 5" foam backed sandpaper with the foam side against the chuck and the particulate side against the piece.
Another point out for Woodturners Wonders, the best I have ever used.
If you do the female thread first make the Males size .070 bigger, female hole without threads 1" Male size without threads 1.070. I use the Baxter Treading Jig and cut the threads .035 on a side,
I had all three systems but sold the McNaughton. People buy these systems to core out bowls instead of putting chips on the floor. I spent some time with Chris Ramsey this past year and he showed...
At a club I belong to someone found this apple orchard they were removing and he got lots of the members to buy into these unions. Turned out that they were worthless for turning so buyer beware!
I have the Vermec and it will cut a 12" sphere.
I don't know what you are looking at but their speed ranges are al most identical 50 - 3500 Laguna 60 - 3600 Jet. I would go for the Laguna even though I have not turned on one as I have used the...
One of my students bought a Grizzly and after two weeks told me that now he understands why they are cheaper as the owner you are also the mechanic that has to do all the work to get the lathe to...
I have only one screw chuck but have never used it. I use the screw that comes with the Nova chuck and I consider it the best of all the screws that come with the chucks. I always hear the pros...
