    So, I currently have to turn 44 walnut balusters that are 42" long. I knew I'd need a spindle steady, but I didn't want to bolt it to the bed. So here's what I came up with.

    Hi Tim,

    If I plan on rough turning then I just seal the whole dang thing as a precaution. I'm guessing other turners may only seal the endgrain.

    Yeah, there's slight variation due to the fact that I didn't use calipers on a few of the elements. Normally I try not to eyeball, but in this case it was okay given its application. Thanks for...

    David,

    You know, now that I think about it I have seen single stage DC units attached to sanders. Looking back a few years, I worked in a factory that had a dedicated system for one of its...

    Well, it sounds like it would be a fool's errand to set up a couple single stage DCs for this purpose. This was basically a brainstorm that needed input from those with more experience with this...

    Peter - That is certainly one of my concerns. I can see it now: zero performance due to a massive cake of sawdust on the filter.
