lathe

Declining health forces me to close down my wood turning shop. I am located in Pasadena, Md. between Baltimore and Annapolis. I would like to sell as much locally as I can before I consider shipping. The highlights with what I paid are: Laguana 1836-Near new. spring 2023 $3000 & shipping...

Well, new to us anyway. Got it set up at the proper height for her to begin turning. Less intimidating for her that the old Powermatic P90 with VFD added in the background. This lathe runs smooth as butter. Will add some weight to the lower shelf but will work nicely. I am sure I will be using...

Always had my lathe against a wall expect one time when I angled it. After a couple of threads on AAW I realized I was losing a lot of space on the wall behind the lathe. Was passing through Missouri and stopped by Grizzly to buy a heavier mobile base, had my son weld some extensions on it and...

I am interested in members opinions on the brands of lathe chucks they use. The common brands I am aware of are Nova, Record Power, Easy Wood, Robert Sorby, and Vic Mark. What brand(s) do you use? What do you like/dislike about them?

Thanks for approving my application. Ben turning since Jr High Shop Class with Mr. Fox. Didn't turn a pen until a few year ago, but found it enjoyable and rewarding. I'm a retired US Naval Officer (LDO.) Been working a Woodcraft Norfolk/Virginia Beach for a few years now doing Saturday Demos and...

First, this is a great forum with amazing experts. I am not only new to the forum but also new to pen making. I have been making slim wood pens and the results have been ok so far. Now I started to do "fatter" pens and I am running into problems. I have been using my lathe to drill holes into...

Was having a chatter issue I could not over come and check my inboard spindle bearing more closely. Yep, is was a little sloppy. Not sure if it was original to my 1959 Powermatic 90 or not but found a new old-stock bearing on eBay for $48, had a local machine shop press the old one off and put...

So I have a WEN 3421 lathe with the variable speed drive. Does anybody know if I could use a variable voltage power supply to get lower speeds? My thought is that for doing some fills with epoxy, you need to keep it rotating slowly so that the epoxy doesn't sag while it cures. The slowest speed...

While an admirable micro lathe in many respects, the Taig has, what is widely considered to be, the worst designed taper attachment in the history of hobby machining. Instead of an integrated pivot arrangement on the headstock or the cross-slide, the Taig uses these little t-slot hooks that grip...

SOLD - The old Powermatic P90 is ready for use and my new shop simply does not have the room for 2 lathes or I would be keeping this one. The chucks will not work on the 1959 lathe I am keeping. The Central Machinery lathe is 3-1/2 years old and I included a link to it. One chuck is 3 years old...

I purchased a new Nova Comet II last year for a second bench top lathe. On Sunday I was turning a mill. I stopped to check my work and when I pushed the button to turn it on, it didn't spin. I checked the power cord and outlet, everything was fine. I put my hand on the wheel and it started...

I am having a problem on getting the a new belt aligned to stay on the spindle pulley. I know there is probably some type of shimming that needs to be done and thought that somebody could share some thoughts on doing this. I have spent several days trying to align this to no avail. Any thoughts...

After watching the video on another thread, I had stated that I drilled some hardwood on the lathe. The label said 3/4X3/4X36. However, the blanks were a bit loose in the jaws. This is a Supernova 2 lathe with the long pen jaws. As a result, the holes were oversize. :mad: I marked them as 7...

I posted this on another website but wanted to share this with you. "I'm sure this is nothing new to this group but wanted to share this for anyone taking time to clean up the shop. I have spent the last three days cleaning up the shop, organizing items in like function or use, and looking at...

I was looking at the Woodcraft and PSI catalogues. There is a $30 difference with WC being the most expensive. I did use the WC press when I took a class earlier this year. I wanted to get the input from the forum members. I do have some $$$ that I could spend but want to get the most bang...

Hello, all! My name is Parker, and I am new in the world of turning. I have been turning for a couple of months and have turned roughly 20-25 pens. I specifically like maple burl and deer antler. I also enjoy turning Olive Wood from Jerusalem because it gives me the opportunity to talk about...

When I turned five bottle stoppers and 20+ pens my Rikon mini lathe started making unhappy noises so I bought a new bigger model. That 1 horse motor sounds unstoppable and very smooth. It was close between this lathe and an equivalent Jet lathe, but this one fit on the existing stand and...

Hey everyone! I'm a student at Baylor University. While I've been down here this semester, I've gotten a few requests. Unfortunately I wasn't able to transport my lathe this semester, and Baylor's wood lathe is reserved for sculpture majors. Is anyone in the Waco area willing to let me turn a...

Someone in my local area has a Nova dvr 3000 up for sale for $1500. Any comments that you can supply about this lathe would be great. Thanks
