I've managed to lose one of the screws from my CL2000 chuck, and looking to replace (and get spares!) and while £9 seems ok for a set, the postage of £7 is ridiculous. Anyone suggest alternative sources than Record or Axminster pls? Surely these are standard hex screws? Thanks

Me again. I have been turning candlesticks but when one of my buyers managed to set her's on fire (left candle burning) it occurred to me that making at least the candle part fire proof would be a good idea. I have lined the tops with marble and and looking at copper but just wondering if anyone...

Success, thanks all

I started on a Clarke 13" (Clarke CWL325V 13" Wood Lathe with Electronic Variable Speed - Machine Mart - Machine Mart) and would highly recommend it. However, 2 years on I have just bought a (2nd hand) CL3 which is fab. The Clarke will take sizeable pieces. Happy Lathing

Will do, thanks

Thank you all, once again. Perfect info.

Morning all Still awaiting the arrival of the electrician but yes, re connected the earth wires and the issue has been resolved by putting the lathe on its own circuit breaker ... seems to be fine now. Am wearing rubber soled boots ... just in case. Really appreciate everyone's input into this...

Thanks both

Thanks for this. Have tried it on house mains but still cuts out. I will try with a circuit breaker

No, 'new' lathe wasn't plugged in

Am looking for recommendations for a swivel head lathe with 36" bed. Looking to buy second hand ... I think. Thanks
