    That's a good suggestion and I like that idea. The problem is I believe this is made out of redwood (that’s what the customer told me) but I don’t know for sure. I’m in Minnesota so we don’t have a...

    I would recommend buying an insert version of the chuck and getting the right insert. I tried the adapter when I changed from a 1”-8 lathe to a 1-1/4”-8 and didn’t care for the runout. Plus,...

    I love my PM3520B. It’s been a great addition to my shop and I use it often. I know the 3520C is around $4400 but if you get it on sale you’d have over $2,000 for accessories.

    Another thing to consider is that Grizzly chuck uses Tommy bars for tightening. Depending on when you are trying to grip you may need a third hand to get things tight. I would spend a little more and...

    It all depends on your budget. I have a Powermatic 3520B and I love it. I turn everything from pens to large platters on it. While it may be out of your budget, it's a really nice lathe. For a little...

    Thanks for the replies. My shop space is limited so that's why I'm looking for a bench top machine. One thing I thought about with any of the machines is being able to have the stock hang out past...

    I use an acrylic display that holds about 10 seam rippers. It rises at an angle from the table. I think it came from CraftsuppliesUSA and is designed to hold pens.

    I have two recommendations:

    I get mine from Factorydirectcraft.com. Search for mushroom birds and there's lots of options. I usually get the ones that are 3/4" long as that seems to be the best size for my birdhouses.
