Do NOT get the variable speed Delta (6" model) if you ever plan to use a Wolverine. The jig doesn't fit under the wheels.
Just get one of these. Problem solved.

Dust bunnies! Don't worry, we all get them.
You've gotten good advice. Also be sure and order a Giotto Rocket. They're handy for all kinds of situations, including a quick dust-off of your...
Check my "Links" page for a list of wood suppliers (under the "Woodturning - Wood Sources" section).
Perfect. :cool:
I usually decide whether I'm going to add a finial before I ever turn the hollow form body. This way I can plan in advance. At a minimum, the slope and contour of the top needs to be considered. ...

Harvey, thanks. I've corrected the Oneways. Looks like all but the 1640 and 1236SD are M33 - 3.5 RH. Not sure how I missed that the first time.
Alex, very cool! I hadn't heard of that lathe...

Keep in mind...
Very cool to see, Jim. That sure is some interesting looking wood!
Is there any wood from there that isn't "hard and brittle"? :p
Thanks for sharing!
Are you sure that's not an early Jet? :D
2nd pic looks good to me. Nice lighting. :cool:
What an amazing thread.
I own a 1442 and have had no issues with it. It's a nice lathe. I don't understand bashing Jet lathes simply due to a perceived problem you experienced with a used model....
Bump for those who are new to SMC.
Thanks all! I appreciate the kind words.
Wally, interesting that you ask about working the bottom of the base. I didn't mention but I actually do sand it immediately after step 4 (before...
New article posted for those who are interested.
Turning a Pedestal
Hope you enjoy.
Nice form and finish, Joe! :D
Niels, you've had a lot of good advice but keep in mind that the lathe is only part of the picture. Here's an article with a few thoughts to ponder.
