Convenience, if nothing else. I have seven Chucks so I don't have to change Jaws and a separate Jacob Chuck for the drill bits I use the most. Convenience or laziness, whatever you want to call it,...

In basic training we put Johnson Floor Wax on the floor in the Barracks. It stood up well until we did it again the next day. Used GI Blankets to buff it.
Great job on all of those...but, I'm really impressed with the second one -- Outstanding.
I can see you have put a lot of effort into this project Bob, but I don't understand the purpose of increasing the number of segments. The process does not seem to allow a pattern flow. Is there a...
I have a Delta 14" with riser blocks that I use exclusively for curved work and I have never seen a need to remove the riser blocks. I do, however, have the Carter Stabilizer Guides on it and they...
That's a real nice piece Steve. Hard to believe its a" FIRST PIECE". Tell us about the method you used to mount it on the lathe.
I get them at Ingles grocery store. They use the plastic bags, but have paper too. You just have to ask.
Ich spreche nicht Deutsch, aber es ist ein nettes Drehmaschine.
I get mine from Lee Valley. They sell a kit with a 13 foot band and fasteners. With this you cut them to the size you need. I like them because I do some glue ups that are up to 18" in diameter,...
Several years back I got a set of Hunter #1 tools for turning small boxes. It really did a great job on the inside of those small segmented pieces, so I bought the #5 to work on the inside of larger...
I have had one for about 8 years now.....Other then the dust in the switch, which I blow out; I have had no problems. Great little lathe.
I have used Poster Board (Red, White & Green) as veneer spacers in segmented Christmas Ornaments. It worked out all right on these small projects. I have not tried it on anything larger though.
You don't say what the diameter of the laminations are, but another thought would be to split them down the middle like you do a log. That way you would not be hollowing end grain and it would give...
I have never set the set screw on any of my chucks to sand in reverse and have not had a problem. I don't have a vicmarc chuck, but do have the Grizzly chuck, which is suppose to be a copy. Of...
I like the 2nd & 7th. This based on the Stems, as I think thin stems look the best.
This lathe has a 1/2 HP, 3/4 x 16 TPI Spindle with a #1 Morse Taper and the lowest speed of 875 -- No power, you can't turn a nice size bowl and you are limited in what after market accessories you...
I was given a 3/4" Sorby for Christmas. It came with a Traditional grind and I really liked it. The thickness eliminated most of the vibration when extended far over the tool rest. Then, for some...
I have the Delta 755X, 2 hp. It's an excellent lathe, but here is a Caveat: Delta has been sold several times since making this lathe. Support and some Parts may not be available from them anymore. ...
Look in the AAW Resource Directory.
We used it in a class with Nick Agar making his Viking Sunset Bowls. Nick applies it with his index finger. He'll rub his thumb and index fingers together until he can see his finger prints through...
Oh no ... don't you dare open that. Move it in the house and put it under the tree until Christmas like the rest of us have to do. Congratulations.
yea, he probably went nuts looking for the nuts. I think the Beale Threading Tool would be a more econometrical choice (wonder if it was available seven years ago).
Mike Piece has a youtube video demonstrating the jig that Peter refers to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BEVkDnkZ0I
I use to have a Jet 12/36 and changed the pulleys several times. It has been awhile, but I don't recall it being difficult, pretty straight forward.
