Your welcome Clem, Bruce is correct in the fact that a Tractor Supply or HD does not carry them as "standard". You will have to go to a Fastenal or a speacialty fastener supplier to get them, but...
There are three "standard" thread series in the Unified screw thread system.
UNC- course
UNF- fine
8-UN- 8 thread series.
8-UN is available in sizes form 1" to 1-1/2"

I use them quite a bit in the construction industry and they are nationwide.
:D :D :D :D :D My face is going to be like this for sometime to come. LOML says it is even like that when I am sleeping now.
Thanks Guys
PS. was at woodcraft today and picked up the Crown 1/2...
Thanks Jeff, the planets have aligned and life is good:D
A Jet 1642 EVS followed me home today and SWMBO said I could keep it. What a ssweeet machine. I was turning on a Delta 46-700 my FIL gave me last year. This lathe is so quiet it is hard to tell it is...
Here is my first SUCCESFUL natural edge bowl. Usually blow the bark off of them. Had to glue one small piece back on this one. Comments, criticisms, suggestion welcome.:) It is 8" dia. and 3" tall....
I would go with the Miller also. That is all we use in the mechanical piping company I work for. Very durable machine. Also I would stay away from the auto darkening hoods. Not a single welder in my...
Several options
1. Offset aviation snips
2. Sawzall with 18tpi bimetal blade
3. Jigsaw with metal blade
4. Kett 18ga. double cuts
After you cut through the seam watch out for the vicious...
Yours is not an isolated incident. I ordered a align-it from them about a 2 months ago. After a about 7 days I sent an e-mail inquiring about the order...no response for 2 days. I checked my credit...
I found a used Delta 43-505 router/shaper for pretty cheap and was wondering if this is worth having. Anyone here have one and have a good or bad opinion of it? Thanks
:) For those interested, here is a good buy on a Crown 1-3/4 roughing gouge. I am not affiliated with this company, just like to pass along good deals I stumble across. I apologize if I am breaking...
I was curious about this myself. When you say have the lathe at elbow height, are you talking about the center of the spinny part or the bed of the lathe?
I was going through my company's back warehouse and came across a Jet contractors saw. It is the one with the stamped metal wings and 1-1/2 HP motor. Looked like it had a Bies style fence on it....
You might look into some of the protable elctric units you can get at Wal-Mart or Home Depot. I have a couple of the ceramic heaters I use in my 34' RV and they keep it nice and toasty and they arent...
Thanks Dave & John, I thought about doing the alchohol drying today. Will probably turn one this weekend and try it. Cut the rest into blanks and see how they dry.
Friend of mine cut down a willow tree this weekend and asked if I wanted any. Tried turning a piece of it tonight...has anyone ever tried to turn this stuff. Thought my roof had sprung a leak till I...
Welcome to the Creek Neil. I am relativley new here also. One thing I have noticed is they call it the "creek", but from the depth of the experience and advice you get here it is more like a River....
Home Depot has been clearing out the Delta 8 pc HSS set for $34.00. I also second the Wolverine jig for sharpening. The ease of use is totally amazing
So I guess they are giving all of it to you?:D veeeeeeery nice
The blank I was turning was 9" dia. and 6" deep. I did have it seated on the jaws. I think getting a set of #3 jaws for a bigger footprint is a good idea. Sounds like I need to find SWMBO and put on...
I have had my 3650 for almost a year. I have cut several dados with a Freud dado set but have never cut any with just the two outside blades. I just checked my saw by putting these blades in place...
I think the screw was defective also. Upon closer inspection it looks like a small inclusion in the metal where it sheared. I bought the chuck a month ago from Penn State. I sent them an e-mail along...
Has anyone ever had this happen? While roughing a bowl blank the woodworm screw on my Talon just shear off. I was turning at about 500rpm and there was no apparent catch. Surprised the heck out of...
