Thank you all for your helpful advice and pictures, I know it is hard without seeing my setup, I am not sure how to post photos on here, I have the same problem as a lot of you -not enough room, I can't move the lathe but I could raise it a little or cut the bench, I have ordered the outrigger...

hello, I have a Record Nova 1624-44 lathe without the leg stand, it is mounted on a good solid homemade bench as I wanted drawers under the bench, it is mounted very close to the outside of the bench and I would like to fit a Record power OR 300 outrigger to it but I am not sure if there is...

Thank you both for your help, CHJ I made up a hardwood sleeve today for the quill, and fitted a sandpapered disc and it seems as if that will work fine, great idea, I have not tried it on a bowl yet but it should be perfect it is very solid, and I will make the cone Tomorrow Dave, I looked at...

Hello, does anyone know where I can get a 2 morse taper shank to 1 1/4 x 8 tpi or if there is such a thing made, I want to attach a faceplate with sandpapered mdf disc to the tailstock for truing up rings on segmented bowls as I go, and also to make and attach an mdf cone for centering rings...

Thank you CHJ for the calibration discs link, that is exactly what is happening I get the bell resonance, so I will work from the rim inwards next time finishing as I go, I have a lot to learn Patrick

Thank you all for your help, I have ordered the Tachometer from Amazon, as it's so cheap it will be handy to have, and I will try taking lighter cuts with a smaller sharper tool, I don't think I am ready for turning with one hand just yet, I am not that good with two, but I have been working on...

Hello, I am fairly new to woodturning and want to turn bowls mainly segmented bowls, I have a Record Nova 1624 lathe to which I have added a variable speed 2hp motor, how do I know what speed the lathe is running at, is there any type of attachment for lathes like a speedometer, also any advice...

Thank's Nathan, that one is good and I will order from them today

Thanks Nathan, I did ring them last week, on their website they offer 60 grit only, any other grit you have to ring them and only then do they tell you that the minimum order is 100 discs, at a cost of about £325, plus 100 would last me over 20 years

Thank you for the reply, I have looked at their web-site and can't seem to find any 400mm so I have emailed them and will wait for them to answer

Hi does anyone know where I can get 400mm self adhesive or velcro sanding discs 100grit or 120 grit without having to buy 100, thank you

Hi, does anybody know if I can buy the JET Disc Sander JDS12 in the UK, or recommend another good make, it will be mainly used for sanding the ring segments for segmented turning, I already have the Record DS300 but have found that the disc must not be truly flat as it is impossible to get two...

Why has you'r wife got your GemRed, is she into woodwork too, you might never get it back

I will be supporting the blade guard as Steve has mentioned above, from the right of the table, I am just waiting for the DVD

Thank you for your reply, but when I turn the tilt wheel the rise and fall wheel moves as well so the pointer is always behind it and can only be seen at an angle, I have got in touch with Axminster and they said that is the way it is made, I have bought a GemRed Digital Angle Gauge which has...

Thank you both for your reply

Hi, I have the Axminster AW10 BSB2 and would like to alter the riving knife so it is the same height as the blade or a fraction lower so I can do rebates and support the blade guard some other way, is this safe and what is the best way to do this, any advice, also my workshop is small and when I...

Hi, I have just bought the Axminster AW10BSB2, got it set up yesterday and it is a great saw a lot better than my old Bosch, the only problems are I can't read the scale on the tilt as the pointer is hidden behind the rise and fall hand wheel which moves with the pointer, am I missing something...

Thank you Eugene, I have ordered the 2 HP from Haydock converters, it is quite a bit more expensive than the 1.5 HP, I will put the prices here in case anybody else is planning on getting one, the prices include VAT and delivery, the 1.5 motor is usually £475 (£450) at the moment special offer...

Thank you Harlequin, I will get in touch with Haydock Converters Tomorrow and order the motor/ upgrade, as I cannot find anyone else who does it, would it be worth getting a 2HP motor or is the 1.5HP good enough, I would like to get it right first time rather than be sorry afterwards, does...
