Good afternoon all, Apologies my trip away took longer than expected, hence my really late reply. Many thanks for the suggestions for sorting out a wheel and the bushings, it looks like a trip across the A30 to Axminster might well be on the cards. And, in answer to deema's question, the reason...

Sorry, didn't mean to post and run, but I'm away from home for a family medical emergency and will do a "proper" reply at the weekend. Cheers Tim

Afternoon all, I've got one of the older style 8" grinders (pre 2018) and I'm about to look to replace the 40mm white wheel and started to think about a CBN replacement. Being realistic, I don't need the new wheel to be 40mm wide, just turning tools being sharpened, but the variety out there in...

Afternoon braveheart, I was looking at the latest copy of Woodturning and found an advert for brass threaded rings (Threaded Rings for Vessels Archives - Stainless Bottle Stoppers) that might be what you're looking for. They seem to have 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 inch versions available in the USA that...

Chronos also do them.... https://www.chronos.ltd.uk/product/sct-crown-drive-centre-mt2-shank-1-head-diameter-spring-loaded/ Cheers Tim

They arrived today, many thanks Bigegg

Payement made and address PM'd to you Bigegg

Afternoon Bigegg, Could I have 2 sets if you've still got some please?

I'm still using my Coronet CL3 after 8 years of picking it up from a well known on-line market place, a nice lathe. There are a lot of 1MT accessories etc still out there, I've used Engineering Tools, Engineering Supplies lathe and workshop tools (chronos.ltd.uk) in the past for things like...

I've got one of the old Coronet CL3 (blue), 5 speed version and have used it for the last 8 years, changing the belt position just becomes second nature. Variable speed might be nice, but as RichardG says, there's a lot of other bits you could buy with the money a VS upgrade will cost.

And so you should be Scooby, it looks great, definately puts my coloured wooden fruit to shame :):):)

Another Airshield user here (when I can get out to the lathe....), I've not had any issues with my neck either:)

Still turning, but not as much as I would like.......

Chronos, another of my favourite websites :D , think I might well go down that route then. If I do start getting problems, then 2mt items for the headstock will be on the Christmas list. Thanks all

minilathe22/pickledegg, Many thanks for the comments/info guys, I guess the only big difference between the two would be the digital speed display on the W824, something which would be new to me having used the CL3 for a number of years. So, red or blue, that's the big question?? I'll take on...

Well my old CL3 motor finally bit the dust and I'm in the market for a new lathe, as the funds won't stretch to a new motor/invertor package either from RP themselves or Haydock converters :( A new house and soon to be workshop area means I'm really looking at a midi-lathe in the £350 - £400...

Phil, Many thanks for that, I'll try and sort my motor out this weekend. Cheers Tim

dickm, My old Coronet CL3 is suffering from the same problem as the OP and in your reply you mentioned " Dirty/sticking centrifugal switch sounds much more likely", any idea what I would be looking for on the motor to rectify this snag please?

Evening all, Came across this site by accident and wish I'd found it earlier, so full of great information and help. Currently based up in North Yorkshire, I'm am a member of the Teeside Woodturners Association and been turning for about 2 years with varying levels of success, all my good bits...
