I asked recently the difference between incannel and outcannel but I still don't really understand when you would use one over the other. Stavros Gakos, a planemaker on YouTube seems to use incannel when carving his infills.

There are some very expensive jigs for the Tormek that will get you very close. One of the reasons I decided to stay away from turning for the moment, all those strangely shaped chisels.

I'm in Italy and recently bought this for a very reasonable price. Maybe try searching for Borletti granite in UK?

Dave Barron pop up on eBay occasionaly.

I have a very limited choice in Italy but have come across the above in France. I can't find much information. Could it be a better choice than a new Record DML305-M33?

I am looking at the DML305-M33, trying to find European dealers.

I'm not arguing, just pointing out that different people will advocate putting the blade in different places. On top of that depending on the machine and the width of the blade you might be limited in where you can position the blade. I have a small saw, a Hammer 35, but often use a wide blade...

Thats not a straightforward statement, in green, and will vary from user to user, machine to machine.

Whilst searching for a small secondhand lathe I came across this pair new at a very good price. I know nothing about turning, are they specialist or might they be useful to someone starting out if the price is right. I appreciate I would have to buy a handle.

Having spent some time looking the one I favour at the mo is the Record DML305-M33. The best price I have seen is around 400 euro, a lot more than the UK. Having looked at the spec it isn't clear to me what "holders" it comes with. If I want to turn a handle 10-15mm diameter, 40-60mm long, and...

You might find a cheap new or used in Greece but no way in Italy. Took a look at the small Proxxon

Does it work? I'm looking to make some small handles.

I have never done any turning. Apart from anything else, I have never liked sharpening. I'd like to make some small handles, like those in the image. It is probably a couple of inches long. Drilling out the centre will probably be difficult too I imagine. How might I achieve that without a...

If the position of the blade on the top wheel and the tension are always the same for a given blade you should not have to re-adjust every time. It took me ages but eventually, I even managed to get the guides on my Lidl/Scheppach to work OK'ish.

I agree with Jacob. kg for kg I believe all woods will give off the same amount of heat more or less.

If you want to order from Germany I don't mind taking them in, I'm in Italy, and can forward them to you. Just remember there might be tax to pay when you receive them. MikeK did the same for me only reversed. Wealden sent him some bits and he forwarded them to me so I am happy to help. Postage...
