I've had McNaughton and Oneway. I sold the McNaugton. It is a bit more flexible in terms of core shape, it is cheaper and works well, but you really have to be on your toes. It can catch pretty...

First, thanks for posting this because I had no idea I could improve the snipe I'm getting. I'd just decided to live with it.

I watched all three videos, but unless I missed something, the tech...

I used to advertise mine on craigslist or the local equivalent. Some people use it for fuel or pet bedding.

I like the picture you get if you click on the shopping cart icon for one of the items.

Have you called Sawstop? I recently bought one of their early ICS saws used and wanted to replace/upgrade a couple of parts. They were extremely helpful. The guy I talked to knew the history of...

I think the only thing that really matters is alignment between the head and tailstock, and even that is only really important for certain operations. I used to have a lathe that had a fair bit of...

+1 on the Thompson bowl gouge. If he is like most new turners he probably bought some cheap gouges to start with. A good bowl gouge would likely be appreciated.

I handle a lot of figured maple. I've found that I get much less tearout with the spiral cutter head vs the straight knives I had on my old jointer.

+1 for walnut oil. That is all I use on my functional bowls. It is lower gloss, and it needs periodic reapplication, but I like the gloss level and the feel. I sell bowls at a local craft coop...

Oops, I have the Lee Valley twin screw, not LN. It definitely sags. I'm going to try and edit my original post.

I have the Veritas twin screw in the tail vise position on my old work bench. What I don't like about it is that when I am using the dogs to clamp a board face down on the bench the end of the board...

You can buy a 220V single phase variable frequency drive, which will work with a garden variety single phase motor. This is how my Oneway lathe is set up and it works well. VFDs are fairly...

I make and sell pepper mills. I use Tung Oil, preferably Lee Valley's polymerized Tung Oil for the outside and nothing on the inside. With 3 or 4 coats this builds to a very high gloss. With use...

I've had similar issues, although when I use my dust collector and wear a mask I have no problem. Like you I didn't have a problem for years, but I gradually built up a sensitivity to the point...
