Thanks for looking and comment Jason :), the wedges are Blackwood, made them from a small piece sitting in my shop for years, to nice to throw out and to small to really make something out of it,...

Nice platter Jim, and more experience under your belt, on to the next challenge, have fun and take care :)
You mean something like this type ??, considering that the OP doesn’t have a budget for a larger compressor, one of these would be even more expensive than a larger regular compressor.
And yes you...
Ricc I have the Milwaukee, it is exactly the same as the Neiko, and it did exactly the same thing these other makes do, the rear bearing rotated in the housing because of the saw dust that got into...
This one should do for your use, on Amazon, Taymac MM510C weatherproof cover, can be mounted horizontal or vertical, also available for double outlets.

Get yourself one of these Neiko close quarter drills and forget using your compressor for this, it hasn’t got the capacity to run the sander/drill, about $40-- on eBay

I also use my Mega Jumbo Jaws like Barry, but since you don’t have any room left around your platter, that won’t work here.
So in your case I would turn a disk that fits the inside of your...
Sorry Eugene, I have uploaded the pictures in the normal manner, I can try to reload all the pictures again, and maybe that will make a difference.
And thanks for bringing this to my attention :D...
Having looked at the pieces and pictures, I decided to turn new sound blocks rather than using the ones I made in the pictures above, I like the new ones better.
Any and all comments appreciated...
At the last wood workers meeting I was asked if I would turn 2 Gavels and blocks, as most are flat wood working, and I’m the turner they expect can turn things like that, well I can turn wood ;).

Bill yes using the smallest pulley on the motor and the largest on the spindle will give you the most power/torque on the spindle.
To put this in a different way, if you have a car or truck with...
De tension the belt Bill, it isn’t necessary and can be detrimental to the lathe.
Then next and it is more a question, but what kind of tool are you using to rough turn the blank, and also where...
Would be nice if the OP let us know what he did to get the stuck piece out, acknowledge at least peoples effort to help him out.
If you remove the handle that locks the tailstock ram, you then start extending the ram all the way out, you can pull the ram right out of the tailstock, you might have to hold the ram, as it could...
So you think all bearings are the same quality, do you ??, I do know better and so do others from over a much longer time than half a dozen year running wood lathes, and I’m no chill for any make of...
Joe if you want to hang a longer heavy piece in/on the lathe it is the faceplate or chuck that is where failure would happen, I would use a steady rest for longer pieces even not so heavy ones.

I have turned a few Fruit Cherry logs, the wood turns very nice and looks good, no problem drying in my way (brown paper bag with nothing else added).
What I found is that the wood does not turn...
yes the quarter sawn wood is much easier to turn and has less problems with drying, however besides it often looking boring wood, there is less than half of the size piece of wood from a tree, to get...
I usually don’t have so much warping that I do loose anything from the size of the blank as it was rough turned to, except for the shrinking of the width of the wood, to keep the crotch figure you...
Larger platters in the 15 to 20 inch range are hard to come by in quarter sawn, as you would need 35 to 45 inch trees, solid hardwood trees that large are not commonly used to make turning blanks...
Lots of designs to see if you go here, BTW, Ruth Niles sell the best bottle stoppers by far.

The tailstock is usually a rather loose fit in the wood lathe ways.
I had a Delta Midi lathe (LA 200) where I found the fit too loose for my liking, as I could wiggle he tailstock left to right,...
You got away without getting hurt and or loosing parts of you, hang that blade on the wall behind your saw to remind you what can/will happen when crosscutting round logs/wood.
Do not gamble with...

I had made and shown this tool several years ago, as the question came up of how to cut the recess with the live center and tailstock in the way, I have shown it a few times after.
For...
Really ?, measure length and width and order at any place selling belts, probably will be the same or better quality
Places like "Belts for anything" will ship it to you and you'd have it a day or...
