    SOLD: Scheppach TS4010 Fully Loaded!

    I would take it now if a courier can be arranged as too far away to collect, lovely area for a visit though.

    Forstner or auger bit?

    Forstner or saw tooth bit, especially if you are drilling on the lathe.

    Charnwood aftermarket rip fence

    Is there any reason why this wouldn't work as a bandsaw upgrade?

    Nitro-Mors... more like No-Mores!

    I have found with the new improved Nitro-Less, if you cover said item and put in a sealed plastic bag it seems to improve the reaction. Brake fluid used to remove all the paint on my dinky cars when I used it as oil!!!!!!!!

    Font bowl

    Contact Easy Composites, I use them for casting resin, very helpful on a range of resins and applications, it is important to get the right stuff and use in the correct way, or get a local turner to make a wood liner if to want to saty with timber. Stainless still sounds a good option though.

    concrete floor question

    Go for a pallet cheap and effective, if there are any problems it is easy to replace in the future.

    New to turning

    Old is good as much better made than the Chinese stuff...... Check spindle size to make sure you can get additional accessories. The heavier the better as it dampens any vibration and makes the whole turning process smoother, mine is 350kg.

    Chuck mounted on backplate

    I turn bowls with our a chuck and with no screws either. Just super glue. Too long winded to explain, look up Lyle Jamieson on you tube, it really works unless you get into big blanks. A chuck is handy but not essential to produce good bowls safely. Good tool control and safe working will...

    First turning work

    Great start, I am sure you will become an addict to!!! What I liked when I started was that in half hour I could actually make something, rather than weeks on a piece of furniture or similar. It never ceases to amaze me what can be inside an uninspiring piece of firewood at times.

    How do you turn off your compressor

    When I turn mine off their is what sounds like a small release of pressure, so perhaps something to do with a pressure switch involved?

    Lathe on suspended floor.

    If you are planning a long rent in the workspace I would ensure it is really fit for your intentions or it could be an uncomfortable time instead of pleasurable. Is there a "sweet spot" at which the lathe stops vibrating, it sounds like some sort of resonance which unless the floor is really...

    quick question

    If you do make a sink, what kind of waterproofer will you use, there are some really cool images online of various designs but I am curious as to their functionality.

    Mates Rates

    Very similar for artisan wood turners like myself. People see items created by professional turners then ask if I can make one for a few beers tokens, now I don't make a living from my hobby but I do resent that people think your a soft touch. I make stuff because I want to and that is a big...

    Do you need to keep a tidy bench to produce quality work?

    I am a bit OCD when it comes to my working space. I do clean methodically at the end of each session, and the lathe is blown with the compressor and everything put back in its place. However when working on a big turning I love standing knee deep in shavings with streamers hanging all over the...

    Favourite turners?

    Lyle JAMIESON. Fantastic hollowing rig, great tuition videos on you tube, a common sense approach and a technique that works.

    Bench Saw

    No, and I was concerned with build quality and accuracy rather than "too much work"

    Record drill stand — setting up advice

    I use a similar stand with a small trend router as an overhead router for some jobs, works really well within its limits, a shop made table and fence add to its usefulness.

    Bench Saw

    This is a typical review of a 10" saw with most of my concerns listed My first impression: I liked it a lot. Size and weight met my expectations for the saw I needed. A sliding table on a jobsite saw for that price made it about perfect. It came pretty much assembled, just the blade and weaver...
