I got the boxmaking book too, along with Ernest Jones Techniques of Furniture Making (blooming good!!) and a £25 Axminster voucher from the In Laws. I think the voucher will be going on a set of lip and spur drill bits and a chatter free countersink. Regards, MMD (who is waiting for Holly to...

Brief update... I picked up the M950 on Sunday morning, the chap I bought it from - George - gave me a demo, had a good chat about turning and associated things - very pleasurable purchase :D . He's upgrading to a Wivamac. Ive spent the last 3 evening rearranging things in the shed to...

Hi Tom, I decided to stick with my old 8" Makita t/s (on a mobile base), it works pretty well as long as I use support rollers for outfeed and take care when feeding timber in to cut to ensure it stays staight. Also, my shed is 12' x 12' so its probably not a good idea to go much bigger but I...

Hi Thomas - I was asking a similar question a little while back, see here: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... hlight=jet Regards, MMD.

Hi UK Tony - are you using your new Sorby fingernail profiler with a standard grinding wheel ?. Regards, MMD.

Cheers Mudman - thats brilliant - all is much clearer now :D MMD

Dear turners, following your advice on chucks for the M950 - the Supernova was the overwhelmingly endorsed model so is the one I'm getting (thanks for that). Ive been checking different websites ref costs etc and some will throw in a 45mm spigot (Sharks Jaws) in with the cost of the chuck. Do...

P H E W !! thats a relief - thought I'd bought a lemon... Regards MMD

Mudman - thanks for taking the time to post those points. Im a bit disappointed to hear about the "design fault" which affects bowl turning :( having just invested in (albeit) a 2nd hand M950. I'll take heed of your suggestions, thanks again. Regards, MMD

Hi Mudman, have you been able to sort your faceplate problem now?. Ive just bought a 2nd hand M950 and would like to avoid any such problems so any hints / tips would be welcome. Cheers, MMD.

Hi folks - many thanks for yopur replies and suggestions... I will go go for the Supanova chuck - it has universal support, Ive seen a couple of firms supplying the spare spigot jaws with it. ref the grinder - I have one and recently bought the Axminster toolrest which Ive fixed up alongside...

Im pleased to say that I managed to get a second hand Axminster M950 lathe today. Any thoughts on an appropriate chuck and which other "ancillaries" would be important to get (I want to do both spindle and bowl turning). Regards, MMD
