It is indeed for the Crush Grind mechism. It's quite annoying that they chose to use such odd sizes, 15/16", 1-1/16, 1-9/16, 1-3/4, surely they could have just used common sizes 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", 1-3/4". As you say, the 1-1/16" isn't critical. I'll be using metric bits anyway, so mine won't be...

I'm looking to buy a forstner bit set (and extension) for boring holes on the lathe for things like pepper mills. I was orginally looking at the Planet brand but they seem to get poor reviews. I then saw this set , which seems to get pretty good reviews (assuming it is actually the same...

surely those will mark more than a sharp point as they're squishy and not very pointy? ..assuming it's a wet finish that will smudge

If you have a very small secondary bevel (~1mm), is there really any need to work up the grits? Can't you just always go back to the highest stone? that is of course until the secondary bevel gets too large. Rob Cosman can seemingly get an amazingly sharp edge from 1000 (diamond) straight to...

Yep - I linked to the specs in my previous post. For some reason, I had in my mind that each model could have a range of spindle thread sizes (you choose when you order), so it didn't occur to me to look up the spec.

It's a Fox F46 718 Superlathe I checked the chuck and the faceplate and neither have a stamping for what thread is being used. There is also no markings on the lathe spindle or around it either. Looking at the specs here, they mention M33x3.5mm so I am just going with that. I also measured it...

Glad I asked. So : M33 = 33mm 1.1/4" = 31.75mm 3.5mm thread pitch is around 7.2 TPI And yet most chucks come in both options. Thats bound to cause confusion! It was bought new about 10 years ago. Super Nova 2 chuck. Will see if its stamped on the chuck tomorrow. Sent from my SM-J510FN...

Can someone confirm I am reading this correctly and that my thread size is (T23 - 1.1/4" x 8tpi)?

Shift < Shift > for adjusting playback speed are also very useful. I generally have mine set to 1.25 .... people talk reaaallllyyy sllloooowwlllyy these days.

I know that a camber is useful for squaring up an edge as you can use the curve of the blade to target where you want to remove material. But in the context of a smoothing plane, where you just want to get a smooth surface, is there any benefit to a camber over rounded corners? The reasons I...

There's enough there for at least 20 small bowl blanks :twisted:

wait ... your timber merchant has prices on things? :o

The problem is that it's having to be rushed (quite rightly so). We're about 30-40 years too late at solving this problem, but then 30-40 years ago, we wouldn't have had the technology (arguably, we don't now). It's a similar issue with plastics, ...we left it too late. Although I feel as...

I assume you mean people that would say 'firty fousand' or 'free'? In some cases it's mispronunciation (something they could change), in others it's more of a speech impediment (something they probably can't).

Thing is, this is the sort of gift an unsuspecting friend/partner/family member would probably buy a woodworker. :lol: :lol: ... :cry: One day it will happen.

Oh my god my years are bleeding! ..that's ears by the way :)

Ah-sesseries I find it quite funny when a very prominent young wood worker on the youtubes pronounces the Lie-in Lie-Nielson as the word for not telling the truth. You know, 'Lie'.
