Here is a link to a PDF file that is a test/review of that lathe from a woodworking magazine in the UK (I think).

Arkansas Cherry - I don't think I've ever seen a real cherry tree here. I know this might be a dumb question, but is that some sort of regional slang for something else, or is real cherry?

Thanks Mike, but let me clarify a bit- I was told by one of the Delta customer service tech guys that the link belts and regular "vee" belts will not work on the "vee groove" pulleys because the...

I was told that the link belts will not work on the "vee groove" pulleys that the LA200 has, so if anyone could comment on the accuracy of that information it would be very much appriciated.

I would like to do that, but the information would be taken from another forum and I don't think they'd appreciate it if I snatched their information, and on the other side of the coin, posting a...

Thomas (or anyone else for that matter) - PM or email me and I'll send you a link to the summary of what the guys thought about the new lathe at Laguna.

Yep, it's definitely sycamore. Sycamore cuts easily when wet, but as it dries it gets pretty darn tough. As far as it being dense, I was out back moving a few chunks of wood last night and I noticed...

I know a guy on the left coast that is actually going to be able to go to Laguna's facility and test drive one of these new units either this weekend or next. When he reports back with the skinny on...

If you can live with the 10" swing the LA200 is a good lathe for the money. I bought mine back during the summer and its handled quite a few chunks of wood that weighed in the 15 pound range. It only...

"What am I missing here that causes a $140 difference on the same item – almost the price of 2 lathes on Amazon - not counting differences in shipping prices?"

When I decided to buy a lathe I was...

I just purchased a 5 gallon bucket of Anchorseal from UC Coatings and paid $57.00 ($11.40 per gal.) which included the shipping.

I'll just add that I get a lot fewer catches when I set my tool rest up really high on whatever I'm working on. Whenever possible I try to stay a little over halfway between the centerline and the...

I'm new to woodturnig, so I don't know a lot about lathes, but since I jumped into the vortex a couple of months ago I've spent over 400 bucks (so far) on a just a few turning tools and handful of...

Thanks for taking the time to share the info Bernie.

I looked at this DP in the C-man catalog a while back, but when I went to the local Sears they didn't have one on display - or in stock for...

Thanks guys. I know that people develop preferences for certain products over time, but I can't imagine that it would be an inferior product. Elmer's has been making glue for a long time, and their...

You are looking for the right item, but be sure to know what kind of electrical panel you have before you but the breaker because (in my experience) they are almost never interchangeable. The home...

I'm always on the lookout for a bargain, and on a recent trip through the paint department at the local Super Center I noticed this Pro Bond glue by Elmers. It's a little less expensive than Tite...

.....but its a dry heat Bob. :D

Thanks for the generous offer Dennis. I'm just down the road from you here in Saline County, but between the kids and the wife's odd work schedule I have to do most of my turning while most folks or...

Christopher- You have hit on a good point. I live in an apartment, and so the space I have available to devote to this hobby is definitely limited. I have enough room for a 8 ft wide X 3 ft deep...

I’m going to start processing my own bowl, pen, and miscellaneous turning blanks, and I’ve been looking through the archives for previous posts for information about this topic. From what I’ve...

For what it's worth, this lathe retails at HD for $299.00, and even with the shipping this is a good deal. I just bought one about a month ago and have not had any problems with it.

Google's Blogger is actually a good idea. The number of pages you can set up is endless. So, if someone wanted to go the Blogger route they could just put thumbnail images on the front page and/or in...

I sure hope the consensus here is that the PSI chuck is the best buy - I just sent them a check for one this morning. :D

That is an impressive piece Bill. What type of glue did you use to hold all of those pieces together?
