    Sanding discs on the lathe, do you glue them on or use something like velcro?

    If you have a chuck you could turn a disc with a spigot and screw that on to the back of your MDF disc.

    Centre Bits & Wood Turning

    Does anybody use a centre bit when drilling wood on the lathe? If so what are the benefits? I was watching a YouTube clip and the demonstrator used a centre bit before drilling the full size hole in his project. I had never heard of a centre bit and from my subsequent and limited investigations...

    Wet Stone Grinder

    Yes, the Tormek is the Rolls Royce at RR prices. I have had 18 years good use from the Jet, adding Tormek jigs (for touching up woodturning tools) to the jigs that came with the grinder. From experience I would recommend replacing the nut that holds the grind wheel with a stainless steel nut...

    Wet Stone Grinder

    Thanks to all who replied ChaiLatte: It didn't occur to me to give a link to the manual, however your link to Toolsparesonline was most helpful. The drive wheel appears to be identical but on looking at the exploded view of the Triton they list the drive wheel and an O Ring (rubber tyre)...

    Wet Stone Grinder

    I have had a Jet wet stone grinder (Tormek look alike) for nearly 20 years and the rubber tyre on the friction drive wheel has parted. The tyre is not listed separately on the parts list so it looks as if a complete drive wheel is required as a replacement. The machine is no longer produced but...

    Small shop dust extractor - Rutlands or Record?

    I have used the same model of Microclene for many years, suspended over my lathe. It is efficient at removing airborne dust providing the size of your workshop matches the model of the extractor. I found filter replacement expensive but a cheaper alternative was to buy sheets of filter medium...

    Why is my Record power bandsaw table big?

    My 18 year old Record BS300 has table size of 400 x 500 (measuring the cast iron). RP changed the spec quite a lot in the years after my purchase. My BS300 has cast alloy wheels, they then changed to cast iron, the fence was upgraded and eventually the quick release blade tension was discontinued.
