Thatis not going to be burned. It will wait untill I have enough skill to work it and in the mean time it can keep drying and hopefully it is not going to split.

There is a guy who specialises in these machines i believe in Midlands and has some spares for sale. Could be worth to be looking for him.

Have a look on Loctite as they do threadlockers with different effect. Some permanent and some semipermanent.

Firstly Happy New Year to all of you here. It is some time ago now when this lathe was mentioned and it does apear hat there is not much feedback about this lathes on the net. Those who chekded me already know that i ma on the marker for a lathe. Originally I thought KS Twister would be the...

What you will need is dependent on the chuck or face plae you have. Some of them coming already in that size or if you have any other you need to have insert from 3/4x16 to the thread which is on your chuck/face plate. If it is for turning between points you need to know if it is MT1 or MT2 or...

The Twister is the only one which so far I had chance to physically see working when I did my course in Simon Hope's workshop. Looks to the eyes of begginer great the same could be said about his Midi Pro which i forgot to mention at the beginning of this thread. For these I was looking more for...

I am fishing for upgrade of my coronet consort machine to more substantial lathe. I ma looking into Twister FU-180, Wivamac DB 6000, Woodfast C450 or simmilar short bed possibilities on second hand market. Tried to look online but that proved to be tough going to find specs and independent...

Hi Derek. Thank you for your offer. Which are the Derby made models? Red or blue?

Points going to Sawtoh-9. Tried the screwdriver trick but the most noisy one was actually the new one I changed.Took the belt of the motor pulley to try if there would be any change and established slight cick under tension when I was pulling on the belt and rolling it at the same time on the...

I will have a go today. Fingers crossed I can find the culprit and deal with it.

While I am trying to find a decent lathe I am trying to use one on my Coronet Consort and its noise bothers me a lot. I thought it would be the rear bearing as the fromt is plain one. Bought new bearing, changed the old one and voila at first try without a load on mid speed nice and quiet. Then...

Aready went to see it at Simon Hope's place while I was there on course. Unfortunately on the same day missed the one going unsold on bay. I have to save now more money to get it new.

Yes it is.

I use mine with Tormek paste, Autosol, Peek for tool honing. They are all "wet" enough for the leather. By diluting these you would decrease effectivenes of honing compound unless you want the edge to be somewhere in straight razor level. Then I would either just use Dovo paste for leather...

I have today contacted another well known reputable turning shop today of which website pictures gave me a sort of hope that this could be the one. It looked flat on one side and the thickness of the arbor on the other was visibly thinner than the visible internal thickness of the grinding part...

My grinder is old cast iron beast which I suspect in past was converted from 3phase to 240V single. Tried heavy grinding on it before and was not able to stop it without bein completely stupid. I did compare this with my 6" 300W grinder which can be easily stopped. But still I am keeping the...

I am trying to convert my 8" grinder to CBN wheel to save money for better lathe. My issue why I am asking is do all CBN wheels come with same width arbor hole as the width of grinding surface? Rason behind it is that I would like 40 mm wide wheel but on the arbor I can only accommodate 30mm...

Just returned from 2 days course with Mick Hanbury in Simon Hope's school room. What can I say apart from recommendations? My head and body are hurting brom the information avalanche and trying to get my body more relaxed while turning. Very friendly course with tons of practical advice and...
