Another vote for join a club. I guess many of us have a favorite book for woodturning and this is mine, well used, https://amzn.to/3ZPHBth If you like watching videos check out Richard Raffan's...
I made one but I have not used it much. Here is video I did on it. https://youtu.be/yh9fadHVcNE
Too funny! Twig pot is the politically correct term.
This is a good site for all thing Powermatic 3520. https://MustardMonster.colvintools.com
There is a video link to changing bearings on a Jet 1642 which has similar construction.
In that case I would say they are perfect!
I did a review on the Coronet Herald. One nit is that it does not have a self ejecting Tailstock and requires a knockout bar to remove the live center - unusual for a modern lathe.

I did a video on this a while back. You can even turn a taper cleaner.

David, why do the snow people look so unhappy? Like they are afraid they will have to go back into the snow!
Years ago there was a surplus site that had a great deal on used GAST pumps 240 volt. Then they ran out of supply. It was not that a GAST pump required 220 v to run but was a function of the...

Sounds like you have an approach to speed that is safe and works for you. Dale Nish developed a formula of Diam x RPM = 6000 - 9000 and a lower if rough and unbalanced. Here is a video I did on the...
Thanks for the shout out David.
I agree with Tom on this Spectape. Used it for years. This is the one the sell at Woodcraft and you can find it on Amazon a few bucks cheaper. https://amzn.to/3rDywCj
Woodturnerswonders.com sells a wax stick for cleaning cbn wheels and to prevent clogging. I have not used mine enough to provide meaningful feedback but here is an interesting video...
I received a Beall 3 on 1 buffing system with my first used mini lathe. I like it as I turn far more small items like boxes, ornaments and smaller bowls. It makes it fast and easy to buff because I...

Do not assume joing a club now is not worthwhile. Call and speak with an officer. My club still has a monthly hands on workshop but with a cap on attendees and all wearing a mask and social...
A lot of good advice here. I am in the multiple chuck camp. If you want a visual overview of the same content you might want to watch this video I did recently

Beautiful job, much nicer than my first bowl that I turned under supervision. Keep in mind that abrasive paste is not a final finish but a step to preparing the surface for a finish, like Antique...
I created a video on live centers that might be helpful. https://youtu.be/5jNUqwr17iM
Just cut it 50% with mineral spirits.
Logic says it would "probably work" work but the RP wrench uses a hole in the RP adapter that is not on the direct threaded SN2. I have Teknatool and RP chucks and the wrench.
I was doing some price research on midi lathes and found a Rikon lathe for $89 from that company with $5 shipping. Crazy!
