Thanks everyone--I think I'm going to go ahead and order the other clamp block. :-)

I had this issue when I first got my Jet 1642. After checking everything above, I realized I simply had a loose belt. Have you checked the belt tension?

Hi all,

I recently purchased a Oneway Spindle Steady & Bowl steady combo off Craigslist. The clamp block, however, is for a Nova DVR 3000, which has a 2" bed gap. I have a Jet 1642 with a 1...

Mike,

I wrestled with the same issues before getting one. There are many advantages. Not having to true the wheels and deal with the subsequent dust was a big selling point for me.

Thank you to everyone for your recommendations! Clint, I appreciate the book recommendation too. I have it on hold at my local library and look forward to reading it soon.

Kyle, do you have a...

Nope--my tools are all limeys--lazy limeys though! I've offered them various oils at different weights; I've gone from sharpening them with aluminum oxide wheels to massaging them with CBN wheels...

Hi all,

I'm having difficulty finding a fast, consistent finishing method for the items I make for the local farmers' market. Right now, I'm using plain (inexpensive) eastern sugar and silver...

Can someone tell me how to train my tools to make a segmented bowl by themselves? I think I bought some lazy tools--they just sit there unless I make them work. Talk about having to lead a horse...

That looks really nice! I have a long sleeve smock from Lee Valley. It too has lightweight material, however, the neck and cuffs have this long, black, synthetic elastic weave on them that picks up...

Thank you to everyone who replied! I bit the bullet and ordered the band saw from my local Woodcraft yesterday. They're delivering it this Friday. Although I've used a band saw before, I have a...

Hi all,

SWMBO has approved my purchase of a bandsaw with part of this year's tax return. After looking around a different 14" models in my price range, I've decided to get the Rikon 10-325...

You may want to consider a week long class at schools like Arrowmont or Anderson Ranch. There are many world class turners who teach these week-long sessions. That's what I'd do if I were taking a...

If you ever change your mind about selling them, let me know. I'd gladly order one!

Noah

I'd love to see a picture of the one you made if you have one available. Thanks!

Where did you buy yours?

Any US suppliers?

Has anyone ever used one of these for their Crushgrind mills?

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who replied and to apologize for not responding sooner. I've been laid up with a bad chest cold for two weeks and am just now getting back on my...

Thanks David--I've had a few design "opportunities" myself--custom, handmade wooden funnels!

I checked out Sketchup and indeed, it seems like a powerful program. What I'm basically looking for is...

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for some design software for coming up with peppermill patterns? Here are the criteria that I'm looking for:
1) Mac Compatible: I use a Mac
2) Low...

Thanks John!

Who is Vince? Does he have a website?

Thanks!

I have both a Jet 1642 and a 1014. On days when my turning club does all day workshops and classes, it helps to have my own mini-lathe to turn on.

Call your local moving company and explain the scenario. Odds are pretty good that you can hire a couple (or several) movers for an hour to do this for you. Be sure to tip them well for saving your...

Lovely form and finish! I just love the smell of camphor--my wife, sadly, hates it when I work with it. Nicely done!
